Switching GPG keys

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1,SHA512

I have generated a new 4096-bit RSA GPG key and am switching to it
from my old key.

All future signatures will be created using the new key.  The old key
was not compromised and can continue to be used safely but future
correspondence should be encrypted using the new key.

This document is signed with both keys.

Old key:
pub dsa1024/96B047156338B6D4 2004-01-04
 Key fingerprint = 3D25 54F0 A153 38AB 9AF1  BB9D 96B0 4715 6338 B6D4

New key:
pub rsa4096/80CB727A20C79BB2 2016-10-22
 Key fingerprint = 6D4E EB02 AD83 4703 510B  1176 80CB 727A 20C7 9BB2

Download my new key directly:

  http://mad-scientist.net/gpg/80CB727A20C79BB2.asc

Download my new key using a keyserver:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 80CB727A20C79BB2

Display the new fingerprint (compare with the fingerprint above):

  gpg --fingerprint 80CB727A20C79BB2

Display signatures on my new key (it's signed with the old key):

  gpg --check-sigs 80CB727A20C79BB2

To verify this message:

  wget -O- http://mad-scientist.net/gpg/key-transition-2016.asc \
       | gpg --verify

Cheers!
