+## Generate a revocation certificate
+
+ 1. You do not strictly need a revocation certificate, but now
+    is the most convenient time to create it.
+   * If for some reason your computer is lost or stolen you 
+     will be able revoke your key.
+ 1. In the command window create a revocation certificate:
+   * Type **gpg --gen-revoke --output 1C9771DB.revoke.asc 1C9771DB** 
+     (*with your hexidecimal Key ID , of course*)
+   * Choose reason 1, Key has been compromised (if you maintain
+     control of your key you can always issue a revocation certificate
+     with another reason)
+   * Make a note to save and print this certificate
+ 1. Proceed to the [[Next|gpg5]] step
