RPM packages have built-in MD5 and, optionally, GPG signatures. If you are downloading updates for Fedora Core 3, that is presumably because your have a Fedora Core 3 installation, in which case you can find the GPG key at: /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora Import that key into the RPM database (as root): # rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora You can then use rpm to verify the integrity of your downloaded packages: $ rpm --checksig *.rpm If you use a package manager like yum or apt to handle downloading and installing updates, they can do this check for you.
