You have to generate your own key-pair:

$ gpg --gen-key

...answer questions here...


Then you have to export your public key:

$ gpg -a --export

Then sign or build and sign RPM packages:

$ rpm --resig *.rpm
$ rpmbuild -ba --sign SPEC/package.spec

When you would like to check digital signature, you need to import the
public key into the RPM database:

$ rpm --import FILE.WITH.PUBLIC.key

And now you are able to verify package:

$ rpm -K package.rpm
