Doesn't it look like a maintenance nightmare putting checksums and fingerprints for all artifact? Even if you do, transitive dependencies won't likely have them. btw, {{<version>4.0</version>}} is not hard. Hard is {{<version>[4.0]</version>}}.

> h2. Extend the Project Object Model (POM) with OpenPGP (RFC 4880) trust information
> What we need is the possibility to model a trust relation from your project or artifact to the declared dependencies. So that, if all involved parties declare such a relation, we are able to create a "chain of trust" from the root (e.g. the project) over its dependencies down to the very last transitive dependency. The Project Object Model (POM) needs to be extended by a <verification/> element for dependencies.
> h3. Current Situation
> Right now we have something like
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
>   <groupId>junit</groupId>
>   <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
>   <version>4.0</version>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> h3. Hard dependencies
> For hard dependencies, <verfication/> could include the sha256sum of artifact and its POM file:
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
>   <groupId>junit</groupId>
>   <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
>   <version>4.0</version>
>   <verification>
>     <checksum hash='sha-256'>
>       <pom>[sha256 of junit pom file]</pom>
>       <artifact>[sha256sum of artifact (junit.jar)]</artifact>
>     </checksum>
>   </verification>
> </dependency>
> {code}
> h3. Soft dependencies
> If soft or ranged dependencies are used, then we could specify the public key (or multiple) of the keypair used to sign the artifacts
> {code:xml}
> <dependency>
>   <groupId>junit</groupId>
>   <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
>   <version>[4.0,4.5)</version>
>   <verification>
>     <openpgp>[secure fingerprint of OpenPGP key]</openpgp>
>     <!-- possible further 'openpgp' elements in case the artifacts in the
>          specified version range where signed by multiple keys -->
>   </verification>
> </dependency>
> {code}
