Keith Parkins' PGP public keys

I have two keys, my original RSA key (now known as an RSA legacy key) and a Diffie-Hellman key.

My keys can be downloaded as individual keys or as a key block from my website, or from a key server, where details of my keys may also be found.

Please do not sign different types of keys with different types, ie a RSA key with a Diffie-Hellman key or vice a versa, as this may cause interoperability problems. Instead, extract key as an ascii key block, then sign file with key.

For example: Many people may have my RSA legacy key, but few my Diffie-Hellman key. How do I ship them my Diffie-Hellman key and they be sure it has come from me? I export my Diffie-Hellman key as an ascii key block, then sign the file as I would any text file.

Never sign a key unless you are absolutely certain of the ID of the owner of the key.

The only truly secure way to obtain a PGP public key is direct in person from its claimed owner or via a trusted emissary.
