Description

Today we have a checksum file + signature, however, we do not publish the key. We should either publish the key or replace this mechanism (maybe with a sigstore workflow).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the current checksum and signature publishing workflow. Compare publishing the verification key with the proposed sigstore workflow, and define what a user must be able to verify for the work to be done.
