...to verify the authenticity & integrity of RetoSwap installers and mitigate the risk of using tampered files.Step 1: Download Required FilesYou will need the following files:RetoSwap's PGP Public Key: File: reto_public.ascSource: Download from RetoSwap's official website.Installer Package and Signature: Files: haveno-macos.zip and haveno-macos.zip.sigSource: Available in the "Assets" section of RetoSwap's GitHub repository.Hash Verification File and Signature: Files: v1.0.17-hashes.txt and v1.0.17-hashes.txt.sigSource: Also available on RetoSwap's GitHub.Note: Replace v1.0.17 with the latest version number if not current.Example Files in Installer PackageA macOS installer: haveno-v1.0.17-macos-installer.dmgA SHA256 hash file for the installer: desktop-v1.0.17-SNAPSHOT-all.jar.SHA-256The hash verification file (v1.0.17-hashes.txt) will also include SHA512 hashes for multiple installer packages.Step 2: Verification ProcessFollow these steps to verify the files:2.1 Import RetoSwap's PGP Public Keybashgpg --import reto_public.ascThis command imports RetoSwap's trusted public key to verify file signatures. Ensure you downloaded reto_public.asc from the official website.2.2 Verify the Hash Verification Filebashgpg --verify v1.0.17-hashes.txt.sig v1.0.17-hashes.txtThis step checks that the hash verification file was signed by RetoSwap and has not been altered.2.3 Verify the Installer Package Signaturebashgpg --verify haveno-macos.zip.sig haveno-macos.zipVerifies that the installer package was signed with the correct PGP key.2.4 Extract the Installerbashunzip haveno-macos.zipExtracts the files from the downloaded installer package.2.5 Verify Integrity of the Zip File Using SHA512Generate the SHA512 hash of the zip file:bashshasum -a 512 haveno-macos.zipCompare the generated hash with the one in the verification file:bashgrep -A 1 haveno-macos.zip v1.0.17-hashes.txtThe grep -A 1 command prints the matching line and the line immediately following it, showing the SHA512 hash entry for the installer in v1.0.17-hashes.txt. Ensure the hashes match.2.6 (Optional) Verify the Extracted Installer Using SHA256Generate the SHA256 hash of the extracted .dmg installer file:bashshasum -a 256 haveno-v1.0.17-macos-installer.dmgCompare the output hash with the one in the SHA256 hash file from the installer package:bashcat desktop-v1.0.17-SNAPSHOT-all.jar.SHA-256Adds another layer of verification by checking the integrity of the extracted installer.Step 3: Understanding the Verification ChainPGP Verification:Confirms the files were signed by RetoSwap's trusted key.SHA512 Hash Verification:Ensures the installer file was not corrupted or altered during download.SHA256 Hash Verification (Optional):Provides an additional layer of integrity verification.Important NotesDo Not Proceed if Verification Fails:Any failure in the verification steps may indicate tampering or corruption.Do not install the software if verification fails.Keep Your PGP Tools Updated:Ensure you're using a trusted and up-to-date PGP utility for verification.Note: Replace v1.0.17 with the latest version number if not current.By following this guide, you can confidently verify the authenticity and integrity of files from RetoSwap, ensuring a secure installation process.
