+ <faq title="Using the 'signature' file to verify a download">
+ <q>How does I use the "signature" file to verify my download?</q>
+ <a>
+ <p>For each Xalan download file in <resource-ref idref="xslt4j-distdir"/>, there is a corresponding signature file.
+ The signature file for xalan-j_2_0_1.tar.gz, for example, is xalan-j_2_0_1.tar.gz.sig.</p>
+ <p>The .sig files are PGP signatures of the actual .zip or .tar.gz
+ download files. You can use these files to verify the authenticiy of the download. You do not need the .sig file to
+ use the corresponding donwload file.</p>
+ <p>To check the authenticity of a Xalan distribution, you need a copy of
+ PGP which is available in a number of licenses, including some free
+ non-commercial licenses, either from an mit.edu site or on
+ the pgp.com site. Once you have a version of PGP installed, you
+ should be able to 'verify the signature' of the .sig file, which basically verifies that the corresponding
+ .zip or tar.gz file has not been changed since we signed it.</p>
