The fingerprint is from gpg. The full key that belongs to that
fingerprint (for what its worth) is below.

I would not expect you to need to validate the key. I doubt that we'll
need to do any business together that needs that level of verification
or security :). Those that do need that assurance from me are already in
possession of my key ie my accountant. I haven't even gone to the bother
of posting the key to any key servers as I don't foresee the need. 

The sig fingerprint is more of a joke than anything meaningful.
