Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with the MacOSX operating system very<br>
much, but this could be a start:<br>
<br>
First of all, you need to install GnuPG of some sorts on your<br>
Computer. Try this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/index.html" target="_blank">http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/index.html</a><br>
<br>
If you got that downloaded and installed, you need to fire up a<br>
command shell. Thats a little window into which you can type commands.<br>
Try this address for help:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://aplawrence.com/MacOSX/macosxshell.html" target="_blank">http://aplawrence.com/MacOSX/macosxshell.html</a><br>
<br>
In that command shell you should be able to execute the "gpg" command<br>
after a successfull install. Try this:<br>
<br>
gpg --version<br>
<br>
It should give you an output similar to:<br>
<br>
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.10<br>
Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.<br>
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <<a href="http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html" target="_blank">http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html</a>><br>
This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.<br>

<br>
If this was successfull, GnuPG is actually installed on your computer,<br>
yay! Now you will need to import the keys like so on the command<br>
shell:<br>
<br>
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x28988BF5<br>
<br>
This command will look for the key with the id "0x28988BF5" on server<br>
"subkeys.pgp.net" and download it for you.<br>
<br>
After that step is done, locate your package and .asc file, and verify<br>
the package on the command shell:<br>
<br>
gpg --verify PACKAGENAME.asc PACKAGENAME<br>
<br>
Where PACKAGENAME should be the name of the package you downloaded.<br>
<br>
Done.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Best,<br>
C<br>
