Mark Suter's Keys

PGP is one of the de-facto standards for encryption. Since January 2000, I've been using GNU Privacy Guard, the complete and free replacement for PGP.

My original GPG key, 0xF2FEBB36, expired without my noticing. In May 2002, I generated a new key, 0x2C71D63D. Please download 2C71D63D.asc or look up the keyserver entry for 2C71D63D.

Key management is the hardest part of any cryptographic system, and PGP/GPG is no exception. Feel free to contact me to arrange verification of my fingerprint or to arrange for me to sign your key.

Please pay attention to the verifications (it's what makes the web-of-trust work). If you are not completely confident with the web of trust, read the Validating other keys on your public keyring section of the The GNU Privacy Handbook.

I have some tools to help with Key Signing Parties and have used them in the past:
