Ideally, you should be using yum instead of downloading individual RPM
files.  yum verifies the package integrity using GPG encryption keys.
RPM will do the same if you import the keys.

They are built-in to the RPM package itself:
  rpm --checksig somepackage.rpm


If you want to verify that the package hasn't been altered you really
should import the appropriate GPG keys and verify the GPG signature:

For example:
$ rpm --checksig xosd-2.2.12-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm
xosd-2.2.12-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
