"Trusted Checksums" is good to know about -- I had missed that.

It's very easy to miss!

I came across it accidentally myself rather recently. I was participating in this issue:

[MNG-6026] Extend the Project Object Model (POM) with trust information (OpenPGP, hash values) #7858
https://github.com/apache/maven/issues/7858

but I missed the post by Tamás Cservenák that announced it:

Maven OOTB provides: trusted checksums ...
https://github.com/apache/maven/issues/7858#issuecomment-3041224404

Gradle has had similar dependency verification for some time:

Verifying dependencies
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_verification.html

The corresponding Maven documentation is found at the link below. The Maven page looks more like an internal design document, which is important, but we're missing a good description of the end-user interface.

Expected Checksums
https://maven.apache.org/resolver/expected-checksums.html

This is a long-awaited major new feature and enhancement. It seems that very few users of Maven are aware of it.
