OpenPGP / Signify

Choice

Choose your platform along with your host operating system.

ISO

• Linux using GPG and/or Signify
• Windows using Gpg4win
• macOS using GPGTools

VirtualBox

Steps to verify the virtual machine images depend on the operating system in use:

• Linux using GPG and/or Signify

Also see: VirtualBox Appliance is not signed Error Message.

KVM

Refer to the KVM Verify the images using Linux instructions.

Qubes

Kicksecure for Qubes templates (if available, not yet available at time of writing) are automatically verified when qubes-dom0-update downloads and installs them; manual user verification is unnecessary.

Codecrypt Signatures

Codecrypt signatures are not yet available, but are planned long term.

Volunteer contributions are happily considered! If you were to contribute codecrypt signature creation to the Kicksecure dm-prepare-release script, then this feature could be provided much sooner.

If you would like to use codecrypt for software signature verification, please consider making a report in the codecrypt forum thread. This method might be supported sooner if there is sufficient interest.
