The .asc files are not human-readable - they're cryptographic
signatures intended to authenticate the originator of each advisory. I
believe they're PGP signatures - to verify them, I guess you would
first add the relevant PGP keys to your keyring, then submit the
advisory and the signature to PGP. The PGP keys used by the FreeBSD
security officers are included in the FreeBSD handbook.
