Hi

I am writing because I was puzzled about part of the explanation on the page
https://www.debian.org/CD/verify

I do not understand from the given page how to use .sign files and gpg in
order to check verify the authenticity of debian cds. I understand the part
with using sha256sum or sha512sum or md5sum to check whether the files were
downloaded correctly.

What I do not understand is, should one download keys from debian keyserver
and/or use the files with extension .sign and gpg to perform some sort of
verification. If so what are the steps that should be taken to do this step.
Also where should one find uids or ids of keys to receive from the
keyserver to check specifically latest debian isos.

Thank you in advance for your help. And it would be wonderful if the
webpage states these steps.
