08/11/2002 Entry: "PGP followup."

It turns out that the person I emailed in the last entry hadn't uploaded his public key to any keyservers because he didn't know how or where to do so. The irony here is that his guy has two 18-month old keys on several keyserver networks, just neither are the key he is using now. But, happy ending, the situation is sorted out and his current key is now out in the wild.

I found a nice HOWTO that does a decent job explaining what you should do with your key once you have it. It stresses two important things: make your key available and create a revocation certificate.
