I came to the exact opposite conclusion, that the decryption key needs to
be shared across every device and with no predetermined expiry.

You have no idea which of the devices I use that I might read your email
on. I have 2 desktops, 2 iphones, one iPad and 3 laptops in regular use.
And that is just the ones that I consider essential.

The set of devices changes at least once a year. The MacBook typically
lasts about 6 months between visits to Apple customer service.


There is no security advantage to having mail sent to me encrypted under a
different key per device. There is however an advantage to having mail
signed under a different key per device and not sharing those across
devices .
