GPG key transition statement
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
I am transitioning GPG keys away from an old smartcard-generated key to a new
set of smartcard-stored subkeys over which I have more granular control.
There is no urgent reason for this transition other than the fact that my old
key is expiring, which makes this as convenient a time as any. My hope is that
I will be able to manage my key more effeciently going forward with this new
setup and new workflow.
The old key will still expire as scheduled. I prefer all new correspondence to
be encrypted with the new key, and I will be making all signatures with the new
key going forward.
This transition document is signed with the new key, and the new key is signed
with the old key. Together this should verify the transition.
My old key, from which I am transitioning away, is:
pub 4096R/0x834BF8EFCB055E73 2014-11-16 [expires: 2015-11-16]
Key fingerprint = 7BBD 0FAE 3E22 A55E 5B22 024D 834B F8EF CB05 5E73
My old key, to which I am transitioning, is:
pub 4096R/0xDBCE2CD7D0E2F991 2015-11-15 [expires: 2018-11-14]
Key fingerprint = E696 5388 5DF6 B978 30A5 6723 DBCE 2CD7 D0E2 F991
To fetch the new key from the keyservers, including both pgp.mit.edu and the
sks pool, run:
gpg2 --recv-key 0xDBCE2CD7D0E2F991
