PGP key transition

I am transitioning PGP keys from an old 2048-bit RSA key to a new 8192-bit RSA master key with subkeys.

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

I am transitioning PGP keys from an old 2048-bit RSA key to a new
8192-bit RSA master key with subkeys. The old key will continue to be valid 
until 2016, and can continue to be used for sending correspondence to me. 
However, going forward, I will be making all signatures with the new key or 
with subkeys of the new master key.

This transition document is signed with both keys to validate the transition.

I would appreciate signatures on my new key.

The old key, which I am transitioning away from, is:

 pub 2048R/8FCAD4D7 2012-01-11 [expires: 2016-08-05]
 Key fingerprint = 943D A811 C93D 3E17 E0DA A40D 2B0D C5A4 8FCA D4D7

The new master key, to which I am transitioning, is:

 pub 8192R/31D51E20 2014-08-06
 Key fingerprint = 9347 E154 320F 7CA0 6682 2EBC 1EEB BDF4 31D5 1E20

To retrieve the new key from a public key server using GnuPG, you can invoke:

 gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 31D51E20

If you have already validated my old key, you can then validate that the new 
key is signed by my old key:

 gpg --check-sigs 31D51E20

Please contact me at frederick@frederickding.com
if you have any questions about this document or this transition.
