So my precious gpg key expired a couple of days ago. KeyID: A9349167 Since my signature key also expired I had to start again from scratch. So from now own please use this new key instead: KeyID: 7F529183 Fingerprint: AF85 EEA9 BE5B B23D 673B 0D60 2BAC 4AAA 7F52 9183 It is a signature key that will never expire unless I revoke it for some reason. My encryption key will expire in two years but in 2009 I wont have to start from scratch - its just the subkey that changes - woohoo! So my signing policy is: I don't sign id cards, I sign email adresses. I don't sign anybody remotely over the internet with no other communication involved. I will ignore signing requests that just pop up. I only give people full trust who take care of their keys and don't take part in key signing parties. My key is already on the keyserver so you can get it right away.
