Comment(by karsten):
Agreed, we should write code to check the descriptor signatures. I
suggest writing the code in Java, because we can create a standalone tool
from it (as part of metrics-utils) and add it to metrics-db to check
signatures on the fly. I should have some Java code around that checks
descriptor signatures. Do you want to work on this? If so, I'll dig out
the code.
Verifying extra-info descriptors requires having the server descriptors of
the same month available. Fortunately, descriptors are sorted into month
folders and tarballs by their publication time, so that all relevant
server descriptors should be in a single tarball.
We don't collect any microdescriptors yet, and I don't know how to verify
them. Perhaps by having the server descriptors, just like with extra-info
descriptors? By the way, should we start collecting microdescriptors? If
so, we should open a new ticket for that.
