Yum: Under the Covers with GPG Keys
Hey look at this spooky key. Don't be frightened little one. Nothing scary is going to happen to you here. This is a safe place. As a matter of fact, if you stick around you might just learn a thing or two. A thing or two about GPG! First off do any of us really know what GPG stands for? Well yes we do!

If a package was tampered with, then its GPG signature will no longer match what was placed in the original package.
