Verifying downloaded packages

Hello

I installed a rpm on my system that I got off the web. How can I know if it is a trusted package ?

[winston@localhost ~]$ rpm  -vvK compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.fc4.i386.rpm
D: Expected size:       178657 = lead(96)+sigs(344)+pad(0)+data(178217)
D:   Actual size:       178657
D: opening  db index       /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0
D: locked   db index       /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: opening  db index       /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys rdonly mode=0x0

D: closed   db index       /var/lib/rpm/Packages
D: May free Score board((nil))
[winston@localhost ~]$

I forget where I even downloaded it from, but I didn't import anything to my keyring.
What keys come with FC4?  Which ones are trusted?

I understand the the package has the correct checksum, but can I trust the signer ?
