-For this reason, we encourage package providers to crypto-sign their

-users to check the signatures.  asdf-install has three levels of
-automatic signature checking: "on", "off" and "unknown sites", which
-can be set using the configuration variables described in
-CUSTOMIZATION below.  The default is "unknown sites", which will

+For this reason, we strongly recommend that package providers use PGP

+PACKAGE CREATION section) and that users check the signatures.
+asdf-install makes three checks
+
+ 1) that the signature exists
+
+ 2) that there is a GPG trust relationship between the package signer
+    and the installer (i.e. that the package comes from someone whose
+    key you've signed, or someone else you have GPG trust with has signed)
+
+ 3) that the signature is one of the ones listed in
+    $HOME/.sbcl/trusted-uids.lisp as a valid supplier of Lisp code.
