Verify checksums file signature

The checksums file provided within the artifacts attached to this release is signed using Cosign with GitHub OIDC(Refer this page for cosign installation). To validate the signature of this file, run the following commands:

# Download the checksums file, certificate and signature
curl -LO https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp/releases/download/v0.61.0/checksums.txt
curl -LO https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp/releases/download/v0.61.0/checksums.txt.pem
curl -LO https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp/releases/download/v0.61.0/checksums.txt.sig

# Verify the checksums file
cosign verify-blob checksums.txt \
  --certificate checksums.txt.pem \
  --signature checksums.txt.sig \
  --certificate-identity-regexp=https://github.com/carvel-dev \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com

Verify binary integrity
