Encrypt with a private key for integrity purposes: this shows that the data
that was encrypted corresponds to the owner of the key.
Encrypt with a public key for confidentiality purposes: this shows that the
data can only be received by the owner of the key.
I think in this case the trick would be to encrypt a cryptographically
sound hash of the source code.
