Verifying Signatures

To ensure the authenticity of your download, follow these steps to verify the release signatures:

First, download the SHA256SUMS.txt file and the SHA256SUMS.txt.asc signature file.

For macOS and Linux:

1. Import our public GPG key:

   gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-key "389F 4CAD A078 5AC0 E28A 0C18 1BEB DE26 1DC3 CF62"
   

2. Verify the signature:

   gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.txt.asc SHA256SUMS.txt
   

   Ensure you get good signartue from hexa@bithyve.com:

   gpg:                using RSA key 389F4CADA0785AC0E28A0C181BEBDE261DC3CF62
   gpg: Good signature from "Hexa Team (Hexa Bitcoin Wallet) <hexa@bithyve.com>"
   

3. If the signature is valid, verify the SHA256 checksum of your downloaded file:

   sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing
   

Make sure the output confirms that the file is OK.

For Windows:

1. Download and install Gpg4win from https://www.gpg4win.org/ if you haven't already.
2. Import our public GPG key. Open Command Prompt and run:

   gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-key "389F 4CAD A078 5AC0 E28A 0C18 1BEB DE26 1DC3 CF62"
   

3. Verify the signature:

   gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.txt.asc SHA256SUMS.txt
   

4. If the signature is valid, verify the SHA256 checksum of your downloaded file:
   • Open Command Prompt, navigate to the download directory, and run:

     certutil -hashfile Keeper.Desktop_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe SHA256
     

   • Compare the output with the corresponding hash in SHA256SUMS.txt.
