     You don't need to change your GnuPG/PGP key, but instead of referring to it by its short ID (4 bytes, 8 chars, 32 bits) just use its long ID (8 bytes, 16 chars, 64 bits). Analogy: Don't just call me Bob, call me BobJonkman. From a presentation I gave some years ago: http://sobac.com/presentations/kwlug-2013-12-02%20GnuPG-PGP/#s1260
