rpm uses whatever version of PGP is available.  One should be able to use
any version of PGP that groks PGP 2.6.x command line arguments, which means
GPG should be an easy drop-in replacement.  Red Hat RPMs have RSA
signatures because of the version of PGP they use.

If you want more info, take a look into the book 'Maximum RPM' from Red
Hat.  The TeX(info) sources should be available on their FTP server.
