Hi,
the uscan(1) man page states:
Please note that the short keyid 72543FAF is the last 4 Bytes, the
long keyid C77E2D6872543FAF is the last 8 Bytes, and the finger
print is the last 20 Bytes of the public key in hexadecimal form.
(...)
However, the fingerprint is not the last 20 Bytes of the public key,
but instead (for V4 keys) the hexadecimal representation of the SHA-1
hash of the public key (and some additional data [1]).
The short/long keyids are the last 4/8 Bytes of the same hash in hex.
Thanks
Lukas
