In several environemnts (C, Java, Python, etc) numerical literals
beginning with '0' are interpreted as octal numbers while numeric
literals beginning with '0x' are hexadecimal. The number, as first
shown, in octal is not valid (only digits 0..7 allows). The second
case looks like hex to me. I would recommend giving people the
explicitly hexadecimal version, or maybe convert it to a different
base (decimal, octal, whatever). As decimal that ID is 119025596.
I don't really know anything about the key itself and how those
mechanisms work.
