+Verifying the Integrity of Downloads:
+
+The official CVS source and binary releases are signed by the CVS maintainer
+who generated them. This does not imply any sort of warranty, but it does mean
+that you can verify that the file you downloaded did, in fact, come from a CVS
+maintainer.
+
+The OpenPGP keys of the CVS maintainers who have submitted them are in the KEYS
+file of the CVS distribution and are also available from many OpenPGP key
+servers. It is recommended that you verify the key fingerprints against an
+external source, however you obtain the key.
