I'm going to go out on a limb and pretend that you know how to build RPM
packages and therefore won't address that too closely, though if you
aren't familiar then I recommend GURU Labs rpm guide[0]

If you need to sign custom built rpms then you can follow this short
how-to[1] but if you are trying to sign your packages with the actual
Red Hat signing key (I could have read what you wrote incorrectly, if so
then disregard) then that's just not going to happen. Its a secret key
for a reason. What you need to do is import the appropriate public keys
into rpm for your system (yum can automate some of this, but its not a
difficult process.).

Hope this helps,
