i recently read that there is a a fairly serious attack against the sha-1 digest algorithm, which is used in many cryptosystems, including openpgp and that its time to ditch sha-1 for a more secure digest algorithm. because of this, i have created a new key and phasing out my old one.
you can download my new key here. they’re also in the ubuntu and mit key servers already. the new key id is 177DDDC0
if you want to know more of what i’m blabbing about you can visit the gnupg website. i use these keys to electronically sign my e-mails and, optionally, encrypt them.
