+What keysize do you want? (2048)
+Requested keysize is 2048 bits
+Please specify how long the key should be valid.

+You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
+from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:

+Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
+You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.

+We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
+some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
+disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
+generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
