Feature Description

Automatic expiration of keys could be useful to have. Many users might simply forget about the keys of old devices etc, while the keys could become available to intruders due to owner's ignorance. Automatically expiring SSH access keys could help to prevent the existence of keys owners forgot about. This feature should be activatable both by users themselves or enforced by administrator. Old keys must be renewable, that means that if my key expired I could just refresh the date without replacing it if everything is alright.
