-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256,SHA1

For the reason of SHA1 issues in the news, I've recently set up
a new OpenPGP key, and
will be transitioning away from my old 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/EE79C636 2009-04-24
     Key fingerprint = 0DC0 D8F6 A3A7 C107 59C4  1512 579A F712
EE79 C636
uid                  Allen Schultz <allen.schultz at gmail.com>
uid                  [jpeg image of size 6128]
sub   2048g/762B1E36 2009-04-24

And the new key is:

pub   3072R/DAD4736B 2009-05-20
     Key fingerprint = 16AD EFE1 D68F C8A8 B086  68CD 1A35 85C7
DAD4 736B
uid                  Allen Schultz (aldaek)
<allen.schultz at gmail.com>
sub   2048R/F55651E0 2009-05-20 [expires: 2010-05-20]
sub   2048R/5687B83E 2009-05-20 [expires: 2010-05-20]

To fetch my new key from a public key server, you can simply do:

 gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key DAD4736B

If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new
key is
signed by the old one:

 gpg --check-sigs DAD4736B

If you don't already know my old key, or you just want to be
double
extra paranoid, you can check the fingerprint against the one
above:

 gpg --fingerprint DAD4736B

If you are satisfied that you've got the right key, and the UIDs
match
what you expect, I'd appreciate it if you would sign my key:

 gpg --sign-key DAD4736B

Lastly, if you could upload these signatures, i would appreciate
it.
You can either send me an e-mail with the new signatures (if you
have
a functional MTA on your system):

 gpg --armor --export DAD4736B | mail -s 'OpenPGP Signatures'
allen.schultz at gmail.com

Or you can just upload the signatures to a public keyserver
directly:

 gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-key DAD4736B

Please let me know if there is any trouble, and sorry for the
inconvenience.

Regards,
