41)     <p>Digital signature is a process ensuring that a certain package was
42)     generated by its developers and has not been tampered with. Below we explain
43)     why it is important and how to verify that the Tor program you download is
44)     the one we have created and has not been modified by some attacker.</p>
45) 

46)     <p>If you want to learn more about how it works see<br/>

63)     How do you know that the Tor program you have is really the one we made?

64)     Digital signatures ensure that the package you are downloading was created
65)     by our <a href="<>page about/corepeople>">developers</a>. It uses a
66)     cryptographic mechanism to ensure that the software package that you have
67)     just downloaded is authentic.

72)     <p>

73)     For many Tor users it is important to verify that the Tor software is
74)     authentic as they have very real adversaries who might try to give them a
75)     fake version of Tor.

76)     </p>

77) 

78)     <p>

79)     If the Tor package has been modified by some attacker it is not safe to use
80)     it. It doesn't matter how secure and anonymous Tor is if you're not running
81)     the real Tor.

82)     </p>

83) 

84)     <p>
85)     Before you go ahead and download something, there are a few extra steps you
86)     should take to make sure you have downloaded an authentic version of Tor.
87)     </p>

88) 
89)     <h4>Always download Tor from torproject.org</h4>
90) 

91)     <p>
92)     There are a variety of attacks that can be used to make you download a fake

93)     version of Tor. For example, an attacker could trick you into thinking some
94)     other website is a great place to download Tor. You should always download
95)     Tor from
96)     <a href="https://www.torproject.org"><b>https</b>://www.torproject.org/</a>.

97)     </p>

98) 

99)     <h4>Always make sure you are browsing over https</h4>
100) 

101)     <p>

102)     <a href="https://www.torproject.org">https://www.torproject.org/</a> uses
103)     https. Https is the secure version of the http protocol which uses
104)     encryption and authentication between your browser and the website.
105)     This makes it much harder for the attacker to modify your download. But
106)     it's not perfect. Some places in the world block the Tor website, making
107)     users to download Tor <a href="<page docs/faq>#GetTor">somewhere else</a>.

108)     </p>

109) 

110)     <p>
111)     Large companies sometimes force employees to use a modified browser,

112)     so the company can listen in on all their browsing. We've even
113)     <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/diginotar-debacle-and-what-you-should-do-about-it">seen</a>

114)     attackers who have the ability to trick your browser into thinking

115)     you're talking to the Tor website with https when you're not.
116)     </p>

117) 

118)     <h4>Always verify signatures of packages you have downloaded</h4>
119) 

120)     <p>
121)     Some software sites list
122)     <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function">sha1

123)     hashes</a> alongside the software on their website, so users can
124)     verify that they downloaded the file without any errors. These
125)     "checksums" help you answer the question "Did I download this file
126)     correctly from whoever sent it to me?" They do a good job at making
127)     sure you didn't have any random errors in your download, but they
128)     don't help you figure out whether you were downloading it from the
129)     attacker. The better question to answer is: "Is this file that I

130)     just downloaded the file that Tor intended me to get?"
