Comment (by tellyworth):

 In [changeset:"44954" 44954]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44954"
 Upgrade/Install: Add experimental package signing to some updates.

 This adds code for soft verification of signatures for theme and plugin
 installs and updates, when provided by the update server. This
 experimental version does not reject unverified packages or failed
 signatures; it simply reports anonymous errors so we can evaluate its
 feasibility and detect incompatibilities.

 This code relies on the new sodium_compat library for PHP versions prior
 to 7.2.

 Props dd32, paragoninitiativeenterprises.
 See #39309, #45806.
