Apache 2.2 PGP Validation
Hello,
I have read through APACHE's help documents on verifying the integrity of the files using PGP but I am completely lost. I have never used PGP before so I am not sure what to do.
It says: he PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using
Where do I put these keys? And then what do I do?

gpg-zip - Encrypt or sign files into an archive
SYNOPSIS
gpg-zip [options] filename1 [ filename2, ... ] directory1 [ directory2, ... ]
DESCRIPTION
gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive. It is an gpg-ized tar using the same format as used by PGP's PGP Zip.

gpg-zip understands these options:
--encrypt
-e Encrypt data. This option may be combined with --symmetric (for output that may be decrypted via a secret key or a passphrase).
--decrypt
-d Decrypt data.
--symmetric
-c Encrypt with a symmetric cipher using a passphrase. The default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the
--cipher-algo option to gpg.
--sign
-s Make a signature. See gpg.
--recipient user
-r user
Encrypt for user id user. See gpg.
--local-user user
-u user
Use user as the key to sign with. See gpg.
--list-archive
List the contents of the specified archive.
--output file
-o file
Write output to specified file file.
--gpg gpgcmd
Use the specified command gpgcmd instead of gpg.
--gpg-args args

--tar tarcmd

--version
Print version of the program and exit.
--help Display a brief help page and exit.
EXAMPLES
Encrypt the contents of directory 'mydocs' for user Bob to file 'test1':
