Date: 11/11/2013 For a number of reasons[0], I've recently set up a new OpenPGP key, and will be transitioning away from my old one. The old key will continue to be valid for some time, but I prefer all future correspondence to come to the new one. I would also like this new key to be re-integrated into the web of trust. This message is signed by both keys to certify the transition. the old key was: pub 1024D/0x4A0A1BC8E4F4FFE6 2008-03-19 [expires: 2014-03-18] Key fingerprint = 9EB8 31BE C618 07CE 1B51 818D 4A0A 1BC8 E4F4 FFE6 And the new key is: pub 4096R/0x897C03177011E02C 2013-11-11 Key fingerprint = 79B1 9198 B8F6 803B EC37 5638 897C 0317 7011 E02C To fetch the new key, you can get it with: wget -q -O- https://void.gr/kargig/gpg/0x897C03177011E02C_pub.asc | gpg --import - Or, to fetch my new key from a public key server, you can simply do: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 0x897C03177011E02C If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new key is signed by the old one: gpg --check-sigs 0x897C03177011E02C If you don't already know my old key, or you just want to be double extra paranoid, you can check the fingerprint against the one above: gpg --fingerprint 0x897C03177011E02C George Kargiotakis 0. https://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/48
