I suggest creating a test package on elpa.gnu.org that is signed to see how it works. Some things I noticed: If package-check-signature has its default value, `allow-unsigned', you can happily install a package with no signature, but trying to install one that _is_ signed, but for which you don't have the public key, fails with "Failed to verify signature". There's no notification when installing a signed package. Might be nice if there was a message at least ("good signature from...") (But on the other hand I don't recall seeing apt and yum do that, at least not by default.)
