Aembit cryptographically signs all binary releases which enables you to cryptographically verify the authenticity of those releases.

To verify binary release signatures, Aembit suggests using gpg and shasum to verify GPG signatures and file integrity.

Before verifying binary release signatures, you must:

  • Have gpg (GNU Privacy Guard) installed.

    Expand to see steps to install gpg To install gpg, select a tab for your OS and follow the instructions:

    Debian:

    Terminal window
    apt install gnupg

    RHEL:

    Terminal window
    yum install gnupg2
  • Have shasum installed. shasum is pre-installed on most operating systems.

  • Import Aembit’s public GPG key (you must have gpg installed for this command to work):

    Terminal window
    curl "https://keybase.io/aembit/pgp_keys.asc" | gpg --import

Each release page lists every version, platform, and architecture, with the expected SHA-256 and copy-ready verification steps generated from the release itself. See Prerequisites for the concepts, then visit the release page for the exact commands for your download.
