1. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003)
dead beef attack
 n.

    [cypherpunks list, 1996] An attack on a public-key cryptosystem consisting
    of publishing a key having the same ID as another key (thus making it
    possible to spoof a user's identity if recipients aren't careful about
    verifying keys). In PGP and GPG the key ID is the last eight hex digits of
    (for RSA keys) the product of two primes. The attack was demonstrated by
    creating a key whose ID was 0xdeadbeef (see DEADBEEF).
