It is possible to find out when a particular encryption key was imported in linux

Hi All,

In linux server some encryption keys were imported using gpg command.
I want to know when those keys was imported.

Is there any way to get when the encryption keys were imported?

Thanks in advance..

I don't think it's possible by default, or at least I'm not aware of such method, unless specific logs are configured, or this action being traced on OS level, such as when an authorized person had accessed the box, etc.

The only "date" reference in GPG is the creation date, but that's not what you are looking for.
