• Digital signatures: A tool enhancing download security. Commonly used across the internet.
• No worries: New to digital software signatures? It's okay, no need to worry.
• Not a requirement: Not mandatory for using Kicksecure, but an extra security measure for advanced users.

macOS using GPGTools

GnuPG is a common free software implementation of OpenPGP. Various versions and graphical front-ends are available for macOS. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to GPGTools to download the available suite -- detailed installation and user documentation is also available on the site.
2. After installing GPGTools, follow the same instructions found on the Verify Virtual Machine Images on the Command Line page.
3. To open the command line: Navigate to the Applications folder → Open Utilities → Double-click on Terminal

Do not continue if verification fails! This risks using infected or erroneous files! The whole point of verification is to confirm file integrity. This page is strongly related to the pages Placing Trust in Kicksecure and Verifying Software Signatures.

Troubleshooting

When a GPG error is encountered, first try a web search for the relevant error. The security stackexchange website can also help to resolve GPG problems. Describe the problem thoroughly, but be sure it is GPG-related and not specific to Kicksecure.
