.: Verify that an SSL certificate matches the private key

When renewing certificates it is a good idea to verify that the newly installed SSL certificate matches the newly installed private key (eg. to make sure no mixup between the new and old files occurred).
This can be done by comparing the modulus of the two files:

openssl x509 -in <certificatefile> -noout -modulus|sha1sum
openssl rsa -in <privatekeyfile> -noout -modulus|sha1sum

.: Publish GPG Keys in DNS

Create the PKA DNS record:

# localpart=andreas domain=jaggi.info url=http://andreas-jaggi.ch/1C6AC951.asc
# LANG=C gpg --fingerprint ${localpart}@${domain}|awk -v local=$localpart -v domain=$domain -v url=$url \
'/fingerprint/{printf("%s._pka.%s. TXT \"v=pka1;fpr=%s;uri=%s\"\n",local,domain,$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13,url)}'
andreas._pka.jaggi.info. TXT "v=pka1;fpr=1073501542F38352FC85788207A32EAB1C6AC951;uri=http://andreas-jaggi.ch/1C6AC951.asc"

Test DNS resolution:

# dig +short -t txt andreas._pka.jaggi.info.
"v=pka1\;fpr=1388580990F38352FC85788207A32EAB1C6AC951\;uri=http://andreas-jaggi.ch/1C6AC951.asc"

Test with GPG:

# gpg --auto-key-locate pka -ea -r ${localpart}@${domain}
