+title: 'Format of download file signatures has changed'

+
+We have simplified the format of the downloadable file (i.e. stage 3 and iso image) signatures.
+Now, each of these files is accompanied by a detached GnuPG signature where the file itself is signed.
+The signing key remains unchanged; see our [web page on release media signatures](https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/signatures/)
+for the fingerprints.
+
+An unsigned DIGESTS file remains available as well.
