- All Tomcat releases are signed using the Release Manager's [[http://www.pgpi.org/doc/pgpintro|PGP]] key. The key is also available in the KEYS file that ships with every Tomcat release. The same KEYS file is also available in the Tomcat CVS repository ([[http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/KEYS|here]]). The PGP signatures are available on all the Tomcat download pages, and can (and should!) be used to verify the release really is the signed distribution.

- As for tampering: every Tomcat release is also digested using the MD5 algorithm as specified in [[http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1321.html|RFC1321]]. The MD5 digest is included in all the download pages. Users run MD5 on their local machine to verify that the digest of what they downlaoded is the same as that published in the Apache download pages. That way, users are assured the distribution has not been modified since the Release Manager signed it.
