Moving to 4096 bit RSA GPG key AA544AA1
This is an annoucement that I am moving to my 4096 bit RSA GPG key AA544AA1, henceforth please try and use this.
I created and have (sparingly) been using this key ever since SHA1 was found to be weak, and larger RSA keys and stronger signatures began to be the norm. There weren't many signatures on the key and the WOT was not strong but it looks good now. The older key in the Debian keyring (1D389887) has also been replaced with the new key and I will revoke it when the number of signatures on the new key crosses those on the old key (that might be in an year or two, I suppose).
Fingerprint information:
Current key:
