+
+## Notes
+
+- When downloading a release, please verify the OpenPGP compatible signature (or failing that, check the SHA-512); these should be fetched from the main Apache site.
+- The KEYS file contains the public keys used for signing release. It is recommended that (when possible) a web of trust is used to confirm the identity of these keys.
+- Please download the [KEYS](https://downloads.apache.org/datafusion/KEYS) as well as the .asc signature files.
+
+### To verify the signature of the release artifact
+
+You will need to download both the release artifact and the .asc signature file for that artifact. Then verify the signature by:
+
+- Download the KEYS file and the .asc signature files for the relevant release artifacts.
+- Import the KEYS file to your GPG keyring:
+
+  ```shell
+  gpg --import KEYS
+  ```
+
+- Verify the signature of the release artifact using the following command:
+
+  ```shell
+  gpg --verify <artifact>.asc <artifact>
+  ```
+
+### To verify the checksum of the release artifact
+
+You will need to download both the release artifact and the .sha512 checksum file for that artifact. Then verify the checksum by:
+
+```shell
+shasum -a 512 -c <artifact>.sha512
+```
