Okay. I had read the page but I wasn't clear whether you meant that configured keyring to be where the verifier looked for a specified key or if you expected the verifier to iterate over those keys. I'm gllad it was the second option.

I think this pretty much covers what I was expecting then.

I already have a repo with PGP signed artifacts. How would I go about testing what you've done so far? With the code as spread out as it is, and not having built Maven before, I'm not sure I could properly assemble all the disparate pieces.

Yeah, the code is a bit spread out at the moment. ;) Thanks for the links though, that helped me find the rest of what I needed.

Looking at the code I have one question. Is the assumption that a devloper would specifiy the signature-validating key, which will need to be in their keyring, for each artifact?

At the moment, there is a separate keyring in the Maven installation (configurable by settings) that you can add and remove keys from, but any valid signature signed by those keys will be accepted. Getting access to the right keys easily and safely will be an important part of making this successful.

I've outlined the initial steps in http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Repository+Security, and there are some additional thoughts for later towards the end of the doc.

Cheers,
Brett
