HOW TO VERIFY GPG SIGNATURES

GPG signatures are a proof that distributed files have been signed by the owner
of the signing key. For example, if this website was compromised and the
original Electrum files had been replaced, signature verification would fail,
because the attacker would not be able to create valid signatures. (Note that an
attacker would be able to create valid hashes, this is why we do not publish
hashes of our binaries here, it does not bring any security).

In order to be able to verify GPG signatures, you need to import the public key
of the signer. Electrum binaries are signed with ThomasV's public key. On Linux,
you can import that key using the following command: gpg --import ThomasV.asc.
When you import a key, you should check its fingerprint using independent
sources, such as here, or use the Web of Trust.


NOTES FOR WINDOWS USERS

Electrum binaries are often flagged by various anti-virus software. There is
nothing we can do about it, so please stop reporting that to us. Anti-virus
software uses heuristics in order to determine if a program is malware, and that
often results in false positives. If you trust the developers of the project,
you can verify the GPG signature of Electrum binaries, and safely ignore any
anti-virus warnings. If you do not trust the developers of the project, you
should build the binaries yourself, or run the software from source. Finally, if
you are really concerned about malware, you should not use an operating system
that relies on anti-virus software.

Old versions of Windows might need to install the KB2999226 Windows update.
