It is considered impossible to generate another key with the same fingerprint. Putting the key ID on the card is pointless -- that's what the public key servers exist for. And you have to get the key from one of those anyway. It's the _fingerprint_ we need, because if you've been handed my card in person, and the fingerprint matches, then you know you can _trust_ the key you've downloaded. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
