OpenPGP Key Transition Statement for Michel Graedel
I have created a new OpenPGP key and will be transitioning away from
my old key. The old key has not been compromised and will continue to
be valid for some time, but I prefer all future correspondence to be
encrypted to the new key, and will be making signatures with the new
key going forward.
I would like this new key to be re-integrated into the web of trust.
This message is signed by both keys to certify the transition. My new
and old keys are signed by each other. If you have signed my old key,
I would appreciate signatures on my new key as well, provided that
your signing policy permits that without re-authenticating me.
The old key, which I am transitioning away from, is:
pub xxx
Key fingerprint = xxx
The new key, to which I am transitioning, is:
pub xxx
Key fingerprint = xxx
The entire key may be downloaded from: https://xxx
To fetch the full new key from a public key server using GnuPG, run:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key xxx
If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new key is
signed by the old one:
gpg --check-sigs xxx
If you are satisfied that you've got the right key, and the User IDs
match what you expect, I would appreciate it if you would sign my key:
gpg --sign-key xxx
You can upload your signatures to a public keyserver directly:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --send-key xxx
Or email migi@migi.ch (possibly encrypted) the output from:
gpg --armor --export xxx
If you'd like any further verification or have any questions about the
transition please contact me directly.
To verify the integrity of this statement:
wget -q -O- https://gist.github.com/mczap/1b8b8160237c1f5b0ae25faa9b2ea465|gpg --verify
