E.3 Key rollover

Our current keys were generated in September 2015, except for the Secure Contact Key which was generated in February 2016 (we didn't think of it until later).

Prior to that, we had a much older set of keys generated in 2000. For each of the key types above (other than the Secure Contact Key), we provided both an RSA key and a DSA key (because at the time we generated them, RSA was not in practice available to everyone, due to export restrictions).

The new Master Key is signed with both of the old ones, to show that it really is owned by the same people and not substituted by an attacker. Also, we have retrospectively signed the old Release Keys with the new Master Key, in case you're trying to verify the signatures on a release prior to the rollover and can find a chain of trust to those keys from any of the people who have signed our new Master Key.

Future releases will be signed with the up-to-date keys shown above. Releases prior to the rollover are signed with the old Release Keys.

For completeness, those old keys are given here:
