But the checksums are pgp signed (inline pgp signature inside the sha256 ckecksum file), so as long as the user has the pubkey used for this signature and uses it to verify the checksums, everything is fine. The pubkey long fingerprint is noted on the main iso download page, not on the mirrors pages.
But the PGP signatures, to be secure, need a web of trust. A separate and trusted method to download and verify the keys themselves, and this we don't have. Probably a certified page with all keys used by the project for signing downloads and builds. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
