To what?  The CentOS GPG RPM signing key?

Rackspace is a CentOS mirror but I would take this to be more
authoritative:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.2/os/i386/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

Download the key and import it.  You'll get what you want from gpg.

[mhw at canyon ~]$ curl http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.2/os/i386/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 > RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

There you have it.  Short KeyID is C105B9DE you can see from the import.

Fingerprint is C1DA C52D 1664 E8A4 386D  BA43 0946 FCA2 C105 B9DE

That what you are looking for?
