"upgrading" my gpg key
Hi,
My main gpg public key seams to be a 1024 DSA key (1024D/9D025E87).
I would like to have a more robust main key. I've created to 4096 RSA
subkey to sign and encrypt.
However, is there a way to switch my main key ? (ie to create a new
one and change it without loosing all my other keys and signatures).
The immediate "solution" is to create a separate new (main) key,
sign it and make it signed by other DD and then ask for it to be added
in Debian keyring.
But perhaps gpg guru¹ would have better suggestions ?
Regards,
Vincent
¹: does anyone know if it is possible to extract a subkey from a gpg
key and add it to another gpg key ?
