9) <h2>How to verify signatures for packages</h2>

10) <hr />
11) 
12) <p>Each file on <a href="<page download>">our download page</a> is accompanied

13) by a file with the same name as the package and the extension

14) ".asc". These .asc files are GPG signatures. They allow you to verify
15) the file you've downloaded is exactly the one that we intended you to
16) get. For example, vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.25-0.2.7.exe is accompanied by
17) vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.25-0.2.7.exe.asc.</p>

18) 

19) <p>Of course, you'll need to have our GPG keys in your keyring: if you don't
20) know the GPG key, you can't be sure that it was really us who signed it. The

21) signing keys we use are:</p>

22) <ul>
23) <li>Roger's (0x28988BF5) typically signs the source code file.</li>

24) <li>Nick's (0x165733EA, or its subkey 0x8D29319A).</li>

25) <li>Andrew's (0x31B0974B) typically signs packages for windows and mac.</li>

26) <li>Peter's (0x94C09C7F, or its subkey 0xAFA44BDD).</li>
27) <li>Matt's (0x5FA14861).</li>

28) <li>Jacob's (0xE012B42D).</li>

29) <li>Erinn's (0x63FEE659) and (0xF1F5C9B5) typically signs the linux packages.</li>
30) </ul>
31) 
32) <h3>Step Zero: Install GnuPG</h3>
33) <hr />
34) <p>You need to have GnuPG installed before you can verify
35) signatures.</p>
36) 
37) <ul>
38) <li>Linux: see <a
39) href="http://www.gnupg.org/download/">http://www.gnupg.org/download/</a>
40) or install <i>gnupg</i> from the package management system.</li>
41) <li>Windows: see <a
42) href="http://www.gnupg.org/download/">http://www.gnupg.org/download/</a>. Look
43) for the "version compiled for MS-Windows" under "Binaries".</li>
44) <li>Mac: see <a
45) href="http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/">http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/</a>.</li>

46) </ul>

47) 

48) <h3>Step One:  Import the keys</h3>
49) <hr />

50) <p>The next step is to import the key. This can be done directly from
51) GnuPG. Make sure you import the correct key. For example, if you
52) downloaded a Windows package, you will need to import Andrew's key.</p>
53) 
54) <p><b>Windows:</b></p>
55) <p>GnuPG for Windows is a command line tool, and you will need to use
56) <i>cmd.exe</i>. Unless you edit your PATH environment variable, you will
57) need to tell Windows the full path to the GnuPG program. If you installed GnuPG
58) with the default values, the path should be something like this: <i>C:\Program
59) Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe</i>.</p>
60) 
61) <p>To import the key 0x28988BF5, start <i>cmd.exe</i> and type:</p>

62) 

63) <pre>C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe --recv-keys 0x28988BF5</pre>

64) 

65) <p><b>Mac and Linux</b></p>
66) <p>Whether you have a Mac or you run Linux, you will need to use the terminal
67) to run GnuPG. Mac users can find the terminal under "Applications". If you run
68) Linux and use Gnome, the terminal should be under "Applications menu" and
69) "Accessories". KDE users can find the terminal under "Menu" and "System".</p>

70) 

71) <p>To import the key 0x28988BF5, start the terminal and type:</p>

72) 

73) <pre>gpg --recv-keys 0x28988BF5</pre>

74) 

75) <h3>Step Two:  Verify the fingerprints</h3>
76) <hr />

77) <p>After importing the key, you will want to verify that the fingerprint is correct.</p>
78) 
79) <p><b>Windows:</b></p>
80) <pre>C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe --fingerprint (insert keyid here)</pre>
81) 
82) <p><b>Mac and Linux</b></p>

83) <pre>gpg --fingerprint (insert keyid here)</pre>

84) 

85) The fingerprints for the keys should be:

137) <h3>Step Three:  Verify the downloaded package</h3>
138) <hr />

139) <p> To verify the signature of the package you downloaded, you will need
140) to download the ".asc" file as well.</p>
141) 
142) <p>In the following examples, the user Alice downloads packages for
143) Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and also verifies the signature of each
144) package. All files are saved on the desktop.</p>
145) 
146) <p><b>Windows:</b></p>
147) <pre>C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe --verify C:\Users\Alice\Desktop\vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.25-0.2.7.exe.asc C:\Users\Alice\Desktop\vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.25-0.2.7.exe</pre>
148) 
149) <p><b>Mac:</b></p>
150) <pre>gpg --verify /Users/Alice/vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.25-0.2.7-i386.dmg.asc /Users/Alice/vidalia-bundle-0.2.1.25-0.2.7-i386.dmg</pre>
151) 
152) <p><b>Linux</b></p>
153) <pre>gpg --verify /home/Alice/Desktop/tor-0.2.1.25.tar.gz.asc /home/Alice/Desktop/tor-0.2.1.25.tar.gz</pre>
154) 
155) <p>After verifying, GnuPG will come back saying something like "Good
156) signature" or "BAD signature". The output should look something like
157) this:</p>

158) 
159) <pre>

160) gpg: Signature made Tue 16 Mar 2010 05:55:17 AM CET using DSA key ID 28988BF5

161) gpg: Good signature from "Roger Dingledine <arma@mit.edu>"

162) gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
163) gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
164) Primary key fingerprint: B117 2656 DFF9 83C3 042B  C699 EB5A 896A 2898 8BF5
165) </pre>
166) 
167) <p>

168) Notice that there is a warning because you haven't assigned a trust
169) index to this person. This means that GnuPG verified that the key made
170) that signature, but it's up to you to decide if that key really belongs
171) to the developer. The best method is to meet the developer in person and
172) exchange key fingerprints.

173) </p>
174) 
175) <p>For your reference, this is an example of a <em>BAD</em> verification. It

176) means that the signature and file contents do not match. In this case,
177) you should not trust the file contents:</p>

178) 
179) <pre>

180) gpg: Signature made Tue 20 Apr 2010 12:22:32 PM CEST using DSA key ID 28988BF5

181) gpg: BAD signature from "Roger Dingledine <arma@mit.edu>"
