Are there any cryptographic signature or hash files to allow you to
verify the ISOs after you have downloaded them ?

If VSI have not done this, I strongly recommend they do so; this is
expected and standard these days. It may be a good idea to keep the
signatures and/or hashes on the website instead as that means both
the website and the sftp server would have to be compromised.
