Key rotation update
Published on January 9, 2024 by Anonymous Planet

 
Hello again.

This past year saw many changes to the Anonymous Planet name and projects.

There are no new releases of the Hitchhiker's Guide itself, but we've made some great changes to the website and the guide which are coming soon - though we have to fix some bugs before the release.

As of this weekend, you will see a key rotation. What does that mean? Is this a mistake? Is it some sick joke? Is it sinister? No, it's just a tactical reload of our signing and encryption keys set to take place over the next week. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. Note: no old contribution emails will be ignored, they are going to be replied to and your concerns will be addressed.

Regretfully, it has been some time since we have heard from a critical team member. This causes some concern among the community, as they were a very bright star in the dark. To address this, we have decided to rotate our keys again. It's been 428 days since we rotated them, anyway, which places them just beyond safe expiry. We remain in control of our communication system, as well as the contingencies which were put in place for this exact reason. Please be aware that any new communications to our email will be ignored beginning February 1st, 2024. The contact email will be the same, but we will be unable to read or reply. All remnants of the old keys will be sanitized:
  • B6D1757632A280F99F2DCBFDB9AB9D93AFF05B9C - Email key
  • 9EA98278639F1CD853E096CBFF94507587A6A9B9 - Master signing key
  • 83A6CF9EF57AC25B5C7F5D29285E6048A12321B2 - Release signing key

A new donation portal will be setup as well, which will boast faster donation options.

As always, check out the Hitchhiker's Guide here. Feedback is welcome. We ask fellow members of the cybersecurity community to review and provide suggestions to the project. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us on Matrix, email, or Twitter. All of which are here.

We are still kicking. Though, life did get in the way for a while there. On to better things.

Freedom and solidarity for all,
Anonymous Planet
