I’m stopping using my old PGP key (0×8C80C35F). It’s been active for 12 years, and I had set it to expire later this year, so I’m retiring it now.
In its place is 0×1A5FFE23 which I will use for personal purposes for the next five years. It has been signed by 0×8C80C35F (as well as the CACert root key), so should be considered trustworthy. Almost all personal mail from me shall be signed with this key.
PS. I am not being rubber-hosed as I type this.
Firefox extension to enable GPG encryption/verification in GMail. Need to give this a shot.
Now I can pretend to be Jack Bauer with my GPG encryption keys stored on a smartcard. If you encrypt something to 0xC84C962B, you can be certain that it will be seen by my eyes only. Unless a rather bad man has managed to subtly convinced me to give up my PIN, using little more that the art of persuasion, and a length of rubber hose.
I'm not entirely sure what the legalities are of my importing this card into the US, but for now it's nestled snugly in my wallet between my Green Card and my ACLU membership card.
