> Verifying releases
>
> It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files
> using the PGP and MD5 signatures. MD5 verification ensures the file was not
> corrupted during the download process. PGP verification ensures that the
> file came from a certain person.
>
> The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP <http://www.pgpi.org/> or GPG<http://www.gnupg.org/>.
> First download the Apache Derby KEYS<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/KEYS>as well as the
> asc signature file for the particular distribution. It is important that
> you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the main ASF
> distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures
> using ...
>
> % pgpk -a KEYS
> % pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc
> *or*
>
> % pgp -ka KEYS
> % pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc
> *or*
>
> % gpg --import KEYS
> % gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc
>
> To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program called
> md5 or md5sum, which is included in many unix distributions. It is also
> available as part of GNU Textutils<http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html>.
> Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here<http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/>,
> here <http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/>, or here<http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/>
> .
>
> We strongly recommend you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.
