"If you are creating and distributing RPMs, one thing you may want to consider providing digital signatures for the RPMs. Providing such a digital signature for an RPM will allow users, no matter where their copy of the RPM originated, to verify that you are it’s creator. Not only can they perform such verification, they can do it without requiring any intervention on your behalf."
