My current GPG key was generated on 2011-01-01 21:21:48 and consists of main 3072-bit RSA key (ED3F76C8263E85002E5EBAF0597ED93C4AC0B419) and 3072-bit RSA encryption subkey (FB4FFDA6372D3995FAB00949644A6C47FE0F051D). On 1st January 2015 I have collected CaCert signature valid for 2015. It is also deposited in PGP Global Directory, which also signs this key regularly after successful e-mail validation. You can download local copy with CaCert signature only and keyserver copy with all signatures. This key is used with smartcard (with safely deposited and encrypted offline backup) and I use it mainly for software signing.
Previous keys - 0x35109EB8 (created in 2000, revoked), 0x114B25F1 (created in 2001, expired), 0x046FFC4F (created in 2005, expired), 0x662235C6 - RSA/RSA (revoked), 0xA09AAEDB - DSA/ELG (revoked). In 2005 - 2009 period I did not publish any keys, but generated them ad hoc (since used GPG rarely).

I am a CaCert Assurer.

02:CD:8E - CaCert Class 3 certificate for my both addresses, generated on 1st January 2015 with 2048-bit RSA key, renewed in December 2018 (old certificate 02:54:56). Used with smartcard and token (with safely deposited backup). I use CaCert for signing software files.
