-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1,SHA256 Sat, 17 Jul 2010 05:01:34 -0400 I have recently created a new stronger 4096 bit key [290DB9CE] using SHA-256 to replace my older 1024 bit key [CC453197]. 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/CC453197 2006-08-06 Key fingerprint = 2B98 FD5F 51A3 53E7 A921 9855 3C41 5250 CC45 3197 And the new key is: pub 4096R/290DB9CE 2010-07-17 Key fingerprint = 0C19 C882 237D 25D4 3B8A 41BE 7037 3CF1 290D B9CE To fetch my new key from a public key server, you can simply do: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 290DB9CE If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new key is signed by the old one: gpg --check-sigs 290DB9CE 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 290DB9CE If you are satisfied that you've got the right key, and the UIDs match what you expect, I'd appreciate it if you would sign and send my key. The easiest and most convenient way to do this is to use the caff script, which can be found at http://pgp-tools.alioth.debian.org/ or in the signing-party package in Debian and Ubuntu. caff 290DB9CE Or you could sign and send me an e-mail with the new signatures (if you have a functional MTA on your system) as follows: gpg --sign-key 290DB9CE gpg --armor --export 290DB9CE | mail -s 'OpenPGP Signatures' varun@debian.org Please let me know if there is any trouble, and sorry for the inconvenience.
