Gpg4win - Check Integrity

Check integrity of Gpg4win packages

Usually you can use Microsoft's own methods to check that the installer is signed by one of the current code signing certificates listed below.

For gpg4win-4.4.0.tar.bz2: https://files.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-4.4.0.tar.bz2.sig

Since 2021 the signatures are created by one of the official GnuPG release keys (aka certificates) they can be obtained from the GnuPG Homepage or downloaded from public keyservers.

Previous public key (used up to 2021):
Intevation File Distribution Key
(Fingerprint: 13E3 CE81 AFEA 6F68 3E46 6E0D 42D8 7608 2688 DA1A)
