Key transition

I started transitioning from 1024D to 4096R. The new key is available at:

https://people.debian.org/~jak/pubkey.gpg

and the keys.gnupg.net key server. A very short transition statement is available at:

https://people.debian.org/~jak/transition-statement.txt

and included below (the http version might get extended over time if needed).

The key consists of one master key and 3 sub keys (signing, encryption, authentication). The sub keys are stored on an OpenPGP v2 Smartcard. That’s really cool, isn’t it?

Somehow it seems that GnuPG 1.4.18 also works with 4096R keys on this smartcard (I accidentally used it instead of gpg2 and it worked fine), although only GPG 2.0.13 and newer is supposed to work.

Because 1024D keys are not deemed secure enough anymore, I switched to
a 4096R one.

The old key will continue to be valid for some time, but i prefer all
future correspondence to come to the new one.  I would also like this
new key to be re-integrated into the web of trust.  This message is
signed by both keys to certify the transition.

the old key was:

pub   1024D/00823EC2 2007-04-12
      Key fingerprint = D9D9 754A 4BBA 2E7D 0A0A  C024 AC2A 5FFE 0082 3EC2

And the new key is:

pub   4096R/6B031B00 2014-10-14 [expires: 2017-10-13]
      Key fingerprint = AEE1 C8AA AAF0 B768 4019  C546 021B 361B 6B03 1B00
