Checksums on patch downloads

This is the first tim e I have visited the "new" HP patch database website.

Digital/Compaq used to list the tar-ball file checksum in the <patch>.txt
file that described the patch.
I haven't been able to find anywhere that such a checksum is listed.

How can I verify that I have downloaded the validated patch kit?
In a security conscious environment there has to be some way of cross
validating the tarball.
