pgp verification of the iso

[gomster]

I'm new to FreeBSD. I've downloaded the bootonly image from: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.2/ along with the sha512sum.
I'm currently still on arch and have verified the checksums.
Somebody told me that the keys were at: https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pgpkeys/ . Is this correct?
What do i do next to verify it? This is my first time doing it.

After downloading the image file, download CHECKSUM.SHA256 from the same directory. Calculate a checksum for the image file. FreeBSD provides sha256(1) for this, used as sha256 imagefilename. Other operating systems have similar programs.

Compare the calculated checksum with the one shown in CHECKSUM.SHA256. The checksums must match exactly. If the checksums do not match, the image file is corrupt and must be downloaded again.

See "2.3.1. Prepare the Installation Media" at https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html

Yes, I've done that with the only difference between your example and my verification being that i used sha512. My question was about pgp (gpg)verification.
Kinda like this: https://www.wikihow.com/Verify-a-PGP-Signature . Arch linux for example has this in addition to SHA checksums

I also came across this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/346716/how-to-verify-freebsd-iso-download#346718

Use sha512(1) if you want to verify the integrity of the download using the CHECKSUM.SHA512-FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64 file.

Ok, now i get it. There are several threads here in the forum which might help. For example https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/validate-freebsd-distribution-files.77672/
