<h2><a name="sig">Signatures</a></h2>

<p>
The files in this distribution have been digitally signed using PGP. Each
signed file has a corresponding <em>filename</em>.asc signature file in the
same directory. The signing keys can be found in the distribution directory
at &lt;<a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS">
http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS</a>&gt;.
</p>

<p>
<b>
Always download the KEYS file directly from the Apache site, never from a
mirror site.
</b>
</p>


<p>
Always test available signatures, to ensure that what you download has not
been tampered with. How you do this depends on the tools that you use. Here
are a few examples:
<ul>
<li>
PGP for Windows:
<br>
Use the Decrypt/Verify option in the PGPmail tool.
</li>
<li>
PGP command line (some versions):
<br>
$ pgpk -a KEYS
<br>
$ pgpv commons-daemon-1.4.0.tar.gz.asc
</li>
<li>
PGP command line (some versions):
<br>
$ pgp -ka KEYS
<br>
$ pgp commons-daemon-1.4.0.tar.gz.asc
</li>
<li>
GnuPG:
<br>
$ gpg --import KEYS
<br>
$ gpg --verify commons-daemon-1.4.0.tar.gz.asc
</li>
</ul>
