If somebody modifies the archive comments, this will change the zip archive as a whole, and therefore its message digest. What we need is a MD on each file in the archive, a list of the files, and an MD of that list. And all this - issued by some of the developpers of PGP. The best solution would be, if Phil Zimmerman signs the above MDs with his PGP 2.0 private key and re-publishes his PGP 2.0 public key, signed with his PGP 1.0 private key.
