Hello OpenCoarrays users,

I just wanted to encourage you to fetch my updated GPG public key (finger print: 1DB1 B5ED E321 22B2 8E56 810D CB21 118C 92A6 4702) from the PGP keyservers or from https://keybase.io/zbeekman/pgp_keys.asc or from https://github.com/zbeekman.gpg . I have recently tweaked some of the keys including the signing key, and migrated my main signing key, auth key and encryption key to a hardware smart-card (yubikey). This should make it even more challenging to compromise my signing key. I have a new yubikey on order, and once it arrives, I will likely be expiring my current private key, and generating a new, more secure keypair in an air-gapped, verified, live linux distribution. Once the new keys are setup I will send out another email. If anyone requires assistance updating my public key in their gpg keyring, please let me know.

Thanks,
Zaak

This maybe a nitpick, but I think it is customary (and advisable) to sign the key change announcement with the old key, rather than the new one. That way, there is an unbroken chain of trust.

That said, it is really cool that you're going through all that trouble to ensure security and authenticity. Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I assumed you changed your key, because my email client was showing the email as having a 'Bad Signature'. Looks like Google Groups does something to the email that makes it un-verifyable.

Hi Vishnu,

So far I have only manipulated subkeys. Also, I think I’m actually using the same signing subkey I have been for some time, I was mistaken when I said I tweaked the signing key; the only change there was migrating it to the smart card. (The encryption and auth keys were 2048 bit RSA, so I generated new subkeys and revoked the old ones with 4096 bit RSA.)

For me, I can select the text in the email I received from google groups and run GPG verify on it and GPG tells me that there is a good signature. Perhaps the linking of the urls is breaking signature verification for you. If you copy the original email as plain text and verify it on the command line that should also work;  it works for my on macOS using gpg suite (FKA gpg tools)

Thanks,
Zaak
