| title: "How do I verify TWRP files with PGP?" |
| --- |
| |
| Recently we implemented signing TWRP files with OpenPGP for security minded people who want to verify |
| the repudiation of twrp.me files. You can read more about OpenPGP <a href="http://openpgp.org/about/">here</a> |
| |
| To verify a file, you will need to install our <a href="https://dl.twrp.me/public.asc">public key</a> into |
| your keyring. The public key is also listed on each device's download page. Please download the key to a new file. |
| When you click on the page, you will see a link for the PGP verification file as |
| "Download PGP Signature twrp-device-version.type.asc". This file is in binary format and is created using our |
| private key the first time the download page is created for the file. You can then perform |
| the following steps to verify repudiation (Linux steps only): |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li><pre>gpg --import twrp-public.asc</pre></li> |
| <li><pre>gpg --verify twrp-device-version.type.asc twrp-device-version.type</pre></li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| For Windows, please find a OpenPGP implementation and read the documentation to perform these steps. |
