Verifying Binaries

Releases are signed with benthecarman's signing key with fingerprint 0AD83877C1F0CD1EE9BD660AD7CC770B81FD22A8

To do the verification, first hash the executable using sha256sum. You should check that the result is listed in the SHA256SUMS.asc file next to its file name. After doing that you can use gpg --verify to authenticate the signature.

Example:

$ gpg -d SHA256SUMS.asc > SHA256SUMS.stripped
gpg: Signature made Wed 14 Sep 2022 10:21:24 AM CDT
gpg: using RSA key 0AD83877C1F0CD1EE9BD660AD7CC770B81FD22A8
gpg: Good signature from "Ben Carman <benthecarman@live.com>"
