Verifying download signatures

By verifying the signatures of 8Bitsafe releases, you can prove the authenticity and integrity of the downloaded file. This guarantees that the file you just downloaded was originally created by the 8Bitsafe Team and that its contents haven't been tampered with on the way.

Every 8Bitsafe release is published in a variety of package formats.

Each of these package files has a related sidecar file, *.sig containing a PGP signature. We also publish a SHA-256 hash for basic integrity checks.

Follow the appropriate instructions below to ensure the downloaded files really came from us.

Basic integrity check

If you know what you are doing, and wish to only perform a simple integrity check you can use the published SHA-256 hashes. This will ONLY tell you that the file has been downloaded correctly without errors. It will NOT tell you if you can TRUST the download.
