How do I find my PGP Key ID?
A PGP key ID is just the lower 64 bits of the public module (but only the lower 32 bits are shown with pgp -kv). It is easy to select two prime numbers that, when multiplied together, have a specific set of low-order bits. This makes it possible to create a fake key with the same key ID as an existing one.
