The version 4 format is similar to the version 3 format except for the absence of a validity period.
This has been moved to the signature packet. In addition, fingerprints of version 4 keys are calculated differently from version 3 keys, as described in section 'Enhanced Key Formats.'
A version 4 packet contains:
A one-octet version number (4).
A four-octet number denoting the time that the key was created.
A one-octet number denoting the public key algorithm of this key
A series of multi-precision integers comprising the key material. This algorithm-specific portion is:
Algorithm Specific Fields for RSA public keys:
multiprecision integer (MPI) of RSA public modulus n;
MPI of RSA public encryption exponent e.
Algorithm Specific Fields for DSA public keys:
MPI of DSA prime p;
MPI of DSA group order q (q is a prime divisor of p-1);
MPI of DSA group generator g;
MPI of DSA public key value y (= g**x where x is secret).
Algorithm Specific Fields for Elgamal public keys:
MPI of Elgamal prime p;
MPI of Elgamal group generator g;
MPI of Elgamal public key value y (= g**x where x is secret).
