-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Several people asked about why I updated my key. There were basically three reasons for it. - The key that I had been using may have been on systems owned by my previous employer, and therefore available to whomever ended up with those systems. The old encryption key is now revoked. (By the way, if you know of anyone looking for a Unix System Administrator, I'd love to hear about it. :) - The encryption key was a 1024-bit key, and I wanted to use a stronger key, so I created a 4K key. - I had several uids on the key, two of which are addresses at which I can no longer receive e-mail. My signature on those uids has been revoked. As for how to do all this, I highly encourage people to read the GnuPG documentation, and most especiallly The Gnu Privacy Handbook, which is in PDF format and found on the GnuPG homepage. The gist of it though, is that I ran gpg --edit-key . This puts you in an interactive session. The "help" command tells you what commands are available. I then created a new encryption subkey, with the addkey command. I subsequently revoked the self-signature on my old uids, and revoked the old encryption subkey, using the revsig and revkey commands, respectively. - -- Derek D.
