====GPG Key Used By The ELRepo Project====

[[https://elrepo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=key|View this page securely]]

The ELRepo Project uses a GPG key to sign all RPM packages that we release.

Each RPM package that is released by the ELRepo Project is signed with a GPG signature. By default, yum and rpm will verify these signatures and refuse to install any packages that are not signed or have bad signatures. You should always verify the signature of a package before you install it. These signatures ensure that the packages you install are genuine as released by the ELRepo Project and have not been altered (accidentally or maliciously) since their release.

The key is included in the elrepo-release package and you can find it within the /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ directory. (File RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org)

The key may be downloaded from this website and is also available on a public key server (keys.openpgp.org).
