If it were, however, it would go at cost of security, soit's all good. Take care and watch out for your passphrases folks :-) Thomas Zitat von "Peter S.

People might be smart enough to use the newer of the two keys. If you don't rely so much on the keyservers to distribute your key, it is also less of a problem.This *will* sort itself out, however, after the email exchange with them has begun: If you receive a message encrypted to your old key, you would email them back to use the new one instead. It is just an inconvenience to set up the "communication channel" to you. Once your communication partner has the correct key in his local keyring, everything will be fine.I would add to this not to forget the role of Web of Trust in OpenPGP. To mitigate the effect of losing control of a key, get anyone who signed your public key (if applicable) to revoke their sigs on the old key and sign your new one, setting up new in-person meetings as necessary. Theconsensus of even one person you have in common could be a sufficient clue as to which one is _probably_ right.
