+The `Release` files in the repositories are signed with GnuPG. APT is using
+these signatures to verify that all packages are from a trusted source.

+If you install Proxmox Backup Server from an official ISO image, the key for
+verification is already installed.
+
+If you install Proxmox Backup Server on top of Debian, download and install the
+key with the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
+
+Verify the SHA512 checksum afterwards with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-ve-release-6.x.gpg
+
+The output should be:
