Samat's cryptographic keys

I am an avid user and advocate of public key cryptography. On this page you can find information about my various public keys.

OpenPGP

My current OpenPGP key (ID: 0x4A456FBA) has the following information (e-mail addresses have been obfuscated):

sec   4096R/4A456FBA 2009-05-08 [expires: 2017-01-01]
      Key fingerprint = E95D 7465 5B35 C5F6 B3B6  68CC 20C6 F0A6 4A45 6FBA

You can download my current key or fetch my current key via public key server. I'm on Keybase.IO.

I have an older key (ID: 0x1A1993D3) that expired in 2011. While still in my control and unrevoked, it's based upon 1024-bit DSA and SHA-160 whose long-term security is dubious. You can still download my old key and fetch the old key from a public key server, but please use the newer one mentioned above.

I'd be happy to sign your key with mine, but take note I follow mainstream keysigning guidelines.

TextSecure/Signal

If you have my phone number (no, you won't find it on this page), my key's fingerprint for TextSecure (or Signal on iOS) is:

05 33 fe 67 33 e3 8b c2 fc 00 84 5b 94 fc cf 7c 43 c2 a1 2a cc 44 79 7e 35 6c 0f 74 da 72 28 8a 7c
