Please sign my GnuPG key

My web-of-trust

There’s been a lot of talk about Echelon lately in the Danish press, after the EU made a report that established, that Echelon does indeed exist, and that it is aimed at the individual citizens.

So I’ve taken a look at GnuPG and have made a new public key. I’ve revoked the old key, as the email-addresses was obsolete.

If you believe that I’m the one I’m telling you I am (look here for a photo), then please sign my key. You should only sign the key, if you are certain that it does indeed belong to me. When I say “me”, I mean the person that’s maintaining these pages (which should be me, unless someone has stolen my password :-).

On the right, you’ll see my current web-of-trust. It shows that I’ve signed Cookies key. As I sign other keys, they’ll be added to the web, and as other sign my key, they’ll be added too. The idea is, that one should have a web of trusted keys, so that I can judge if a key is trustworthy from it’s location in my web-of-trust.

For you to sign my key, you should first obtain it from a keyserver or look here. The ID is F7F6B57B and the fingerprint is: FF54 E085 D1FD CFF2 99BF 7D70 76EB 310E F7F6 B57B

After you’ve signed it, you can either upload it again to the keyserver, or you could send it to me. I’ll then update my web-of-trust.

I’ll be happy to sign your key too, if I can be convinced, that it really belongs to you.

    This is an old post — I’ve since learned a bit, so please don’t just go and sign my key — let us instead arrange for a meeting so that we can do a proper keysigning after having verified some goverment issued ID.

    My new key has been signed the right way after a cross-check of IDs.
