GPG key transition
I've recently set up a stronger (4096R) OpenPGP key, and will be transitioning away from my old (1024D) 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. Please find here a statement signed both keys, certifying the transition.
The old key was:
pub 1024D/B6A55F4F 2004-04-01
Key fingerprint = 67FE 2899 7E9D 9D03 F1E7 C8BB BDC2 F5A1 B6A5 5F4F
And the new key is:
pub 4096R/25B10423 2010-05-25
Key fingerprint = 22A7 9430 50DB 1E67 EC2B 641A 507A F890 25B1 0423
To fetch my new key from a public key server, you can simply do:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 25B10423
If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new key is signed by the old one:
gpg --check-sigs 25B10423
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 25B10423
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 my key:
gpg --sign-key 25B10423
Lastly, if you could upload these signatures, I would appreciate it. You can either send me an e-mail with the new signatures or you can just upload the signatures to a public keyserver directly:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-key 25B10423
Thanks !
