For a number of reasons, I’ve recently set up a new OpenPGP key, and
will be transitioning away from my old one.

The old key will continue to be valid for some time, but i prefer all
future correspondence to come to the new one. I would also like this
new key to be re-integrated into the web of trust. This message is
signed by both keys to certify the transition.

the old key was:

pub 1024D/88438F59 2001-09-06
Key fingerprint = 686E A9ED 7924 D8AE 9C0F A437 1FF8 4BD0 8843 8F59

And the new key is:

pub 2048R/6CD1AFCE 2009-11-30
Key fingerprint = 7D2B 1953 0509 DF80 B580 995E F4B6 EA16 6CD1 AFCE

To fetch the full key, you can get it with:

wget -q -O- http://www.kuppe.org/Markus-Alexander-Kuppe-0x6CD1AFCE-pub.asc | gpg –import -

Or, to fetch my new key from a public key server, you can simply do:

gpg –keyserver pgp.mit.edu –recv-key 6CD1AFCE

If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new key is
signed by the old one:

gpg –check-sigs 6CD1AFCE

If you don’t already know my old key, or you just want to be double
extra paranoid, you can check the fingerprint against the one above:

gpg –fingerprint 6CD1AFCE

If you are satisfied that you’ve got the right key, and the UIDs match
what you expect, I’d appreciate it if you would sign my key:

gpg –sign-key 6CD1AFCE

Lastly, if you could upload these signatures, i would appreciate it.
You can either send me an e-mail with the new signatures (if you have
a functional MTA on your system):

gpg –armor –export 6CD1AFCE | mail -s ‘OpenPGP Signatures’ markus@kuppe.org

Or you can just upload the signatures to a public keyserver directly:

gpg –keyserver pgp.mit.edu –send-key 6CD1AFCE

Please let me know if there is any trouble, and sorry for the
inconvenience.

Markus Alexander Kuppe
