AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: AusCERT PGP Key
OVERVIEW
AusCERT has generated a new PGP/GPG Key to use for signing and having
data encrypted to. This normally takes place in February, however a
late change was necessary due to a migration of internal systems.
This key will come into effect as of: 22nd of June 2011 (22/6/2010)
IMPACT
PGP and GPG users are required to import AusCERT's new public key into
their keyring so that they can validate future bulletins and other
communications.
AusCERT will no longer be using the old key:
key id: 6E987011
fingerprint: 7D1B 6BCA 2F51 9C0B C1A3 AE45 FE21 4EAC 6E98 7011
AusCERT will now be using the following new key:
key id: CCD8D1A9
fingerprint 7FE9 4B85 1A8D A115 D867 D581 EE32 56A8 CCD8 D1A9
MITIGATION
The new key can be downloaded from our website [1] over SSL to secure
the transaction.
You can verify the contents of this file by loading the key into your
keyring, and issuing the command:
% gpg CCD8D1A9.asc
This will produce the following output:
