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

<p>Many of the files have been digitally signed using GnuPG. If so,
there will be an accompanying <samp><em>file</em>.asc</samp> signature
file in the same directory as the file (binaries/ or source/). The
signing keys can be found in the distribution directory at &lt;<a
HREF="https://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS"><samp>https://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS</samp></a>&gt;.</p>

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


<pre>Always test available signatures, <i>e.g.</i>,
$ pgpk -a KEYS
$ pgpv commons-dbcp2-2.12.0-bin.tar.gz.asc
or,
$ pgp -ka KEYS
$ pgp commons-dbcp2-2.12.0-bin.tar.gz.asc
or,
$ gpg --import KEYS
$ gpg --verify commons-dbcp2-2.12.0-bin.tar.gz.asc
</pre>
