Original PGP Keys (prior to 2025 upgrade)

Note: These keys are not compatible with the latest versions of GnuPG, but can be used with version 1.4. The --pgp2 option is required to import them.

The original GnuPG keys (prior to the 2025 upgrades) comprise:-

A Timestamping Key used only to timestamp items submitted to Stamper. Each such signature will be assigned a unique "Stamper Id":-

pub   2046R/70B61F81 1995-10-11
      Key fingerprint = 4B 12 BC D5 78 85 11 06  3B 54 31 90 E0 9D F3 06

A Management Key used to sign the lists of the highest signature number for each date:-

pub   1024R/083A08A9 1995-08-27
      Key fingerprint = 90 89 12 3A 4F D6 69 9B  DF B2 7C B2 49 61 02 E5

sig          0712FEBD 1995-08-27  Matthew Richardson 

These are both signed using my older key 0712FEBD.

These keys also include my newer key 2A34FA1BDA26CF63, and it can be seen using GnuPG 1.4, that my newer key has been signed by my older key:-
