Real security advisories get posted to the appropriate Red Hat security
advisory mailing list (http://www.redhat.com/security/team/advisories.html),
and are-GPG signed with one of these keys:
https://www.redhat.com/security/team/key.html
As for that matter are the software updates themselves, which are in
GPG-signed RPM format from an approrpriate redhat.com server, not in
unsigned tarballs from some whacked individual's account at Stanford U.
(which is obviously not the "Stanford RedHat [sic] mirror", for that
matter).
