Hello Kev, I do not know *all* the available options. What I did is that I downloaded Gnu PG (www.gnupg.org), installed it on my computer, generated myself a key. The public part of the key you have to add at the end of a file called KEYS which is in svn and lists the public keys of the ant committers.
How to publish your key to a key server I do not remember. I think I uploaded my public key to a key server, but do not remember off hand how it is called. You can use GPG to sign the ant binaries and also to sign (or to encrypt) emails. In the release procedure, there are some emails which have to be signed too. Thunderbird has a plugin (Enigmail) which can work with GPG.
