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

<p>
All of the release distribution packages have been digitally
signed (using PGP or GPG) by the ASF committers that constructed
them. There will be an accompanying
<tt><var>distribution</var>.asc</tt> file in the same directory
as the distribution. The PGP/GPG keys can be found at the MIT key
repository and within this project's KEYS file at <a
href="http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS"><samp>http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS</samp></a>.
</p>

<pre>Always signatures to validate package authenticity, <i>e.g.</i>,
$ pgpk -a KEYS
$ pgpv commons.tar.gz.asc
<i>or</i>,
$ pgp -ka KEYS
$ pgp commons.tar.gz.asc
<i>or</i>
$ gpg --verify commons.tar.gz.asc
</pre>

<p>
We also offer MD5 hashes as an alternative to validate the
integrity of the downloaded files. See the
<tt><var>distribution</var>.md5</tt> files.
