Some readers have suggested that my El Gamal key values were not chosen correctly. My previous key used a random large prime, but Schneier suggests choosing one with a guaranteed large prime factor ("Applied Cryptography", section 11.6).
To correct that I offer a new El Gamal key which I will use for signing:
It is somewhat ironic that you would create a key on this particular weekend. I trust you will not mind if I use the older key. Probably anybody with the resources to crack it has something worthwhile to say. ;-) (Caught that little trick in the selection of g. Cute!) I'll try to maintain the high standards you've set for the key, although it is likely these efforts will fall short. I've admired your well thought out, informative, and modest posts for some time now.
