• Digital signatures are a tool enhancing download security. They are commonly used across the internet and nothing special to worry about.
• Optional, not required: Digital signatures are optional and not mandatory for using Kicksecure, but an extra security measure for advanced users. If you've never used them before, it might be overwhelming to look into them at this stage. Just ignore them for now.
• Learn more: Curious? If you are interested in becoming more familiar with advanced computer security concepts, you can learn more about digital signatures here digital software signatures.

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.
