But you can check against that.

You can have expiry dates on keys.  You can still decode messages with
old keys, but the programs stop you from encoding with them.

Keys are usually associated with an e-mail address.  Though PGP can be
used to encode a file, without that requirement.  If you'd published
your keys on a server, you can query the servers for your keys.  You'll
only get the public half of them, of course, which is only of any good
for decoding file meant for someone to decode.

You make your own keys.

Sounds like you want to google around for "How does PGP work?"

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
