This is to serve notice that my GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) key has changed with effect from today, Wednesday 30 December 2015, following my (revised) standard protocol for key expiration. My new key will remain valid until 30 June 2016. I recommend that other users of GNU Privacy Guard enact such policies and keep revocation certificates for their current keys in offline storage, such as on a thumb drive that is labelled and physically secured separately from your system.
My old key will continue to work for use in sending me secured messages until it expires tomorrow, Thursday 31 December 2015 (and for verifying previously-signed messages thereafter); however, you should be using the new key. To anyone who has signed my old key, I’d greatly appreciate your signing the new one (after satisfying yourself of its provenance and legitimacy, of course).
