I created a PGP Key using Seahorse in Ubuntu's Passwords and Keys (13.04). To my understanding, creating a revocation certificate for the PGP key is important for a couple of reasons.
I don't see any way of creating the revocation certificate in Ubuntu. I would appreciate some direction with this issue.

If you're fine with using the command line, this is easily done using
gpg --gen-revoke
.The revocation certificate is stored in
revoke.asc
(in your home directory if you do not change anything else) and you should replacemykey
by your key id.Remember to store it in a save place, for example by printing it to a QR code or something similar.
