[Resolved] how can i check the Integrity and Authenticity of wallet install file

[pooya87]

i have downloaded "Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gz" file from the official Electrum website and i want to install it on my offline Linux (as a cold storage)

how can i check that the file is correct and safe to use?

is this what i should check against? https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gz.asc

how can i do that?

=====EDIT=====
for anyone who might have the same problem this is what i did to fix it:
1) downloaded the tar.gz file and signature (asc file)

2) downloaded the signer's (thomasv) public key
this can be done in two ways:
a) saving the key to a file named "key.asc" from the address provided at the top of the Electrum website: Link
then importing it:

Code:

gpg --import key.asc

b) or by typing  in the terminal:

Code:

gpg --recv-keys 7F9470E6

3) finally verifying:

Code:

gpg --verify Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gz.asc Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gz

Verifying signature will do. Sources are signed by ThomasV and executables are signed by Animazing.

Signature for Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gaz is https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gz.asc.
ThomasV's PGP key can be found here -- https://bitcoin-otc.com/viewgpg.php?nick=ThomasV.

If you have installed GPG, run gpg --verify Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gz.asc Electrum-2.3.2.tar.gz. If the verification is positive, you downloaded the right file. Else, you downloaded a file which is not from official site or there is some problem with Electrum developers' side which is unlikely.

You can get signatures for other executables and sources from https://electrum.org/#download.

Em.. what if someone doesn't have gpg installed, is there another way of doing this, maybe online? I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am getting signature not verified. :-/

Em.. what if someone doesn't have gpg installed, is there another way of doing this, maybe online?

Which PGP client are you using? I don't remember of any website which offers signature verification.

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am getting signature not verified. :-/

Make sure you use right PGP signature and public key when verifying.

Em.. what if someone doesn't have gpg installed, is there another way of doing this, maybe online?

Which PGP client are you using? I don't remember of any website which offers signature verification.

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I am getting signature not verified. :-/

Make sure you use right PGP signature and public key when verifying.

Verify these using Anizmazing's PGP key:

Hm.. it might be that I was using different key to verify the different signature, will try again and see how it goes. I think there should be an easy of verifying the integrity of the downloads, I mean a newbie downloading electrum wouldn't know how to use pgp if he is not too technically advanced.

Did you import both keys?

I think there should be an easy of verifying the integrity of the downloads, I mean a newbie downloading electrum wouldn't know how to use pgp if he is not too technically advanced.

Earlier, people used to use MD5 or SHA1 checksums for verifying. Nowadays, PGP is widely used. I don't think there is an easier way and this not hard. An average user can verify easily with the help of tutorials. Installing GPG in Windows is pretty straightforward and in Linux, you only need run one or two commands. After this, running the command I posted above will do.

[twister]

I think I'll do the checking the integrity part on my windows machine, the version of gpg I use on linux, let's just say it's a bit complicated (don't ask me how ).

You're right, I think earlier I did saw a MD5 or SHA1 checksum for electrum downloads, I don't see them any more. But still I think there should be an easier way, telling someone that they need to install gpg before downloading electrum to verify it's integrity will get their eyes to roll.

[pooya87]

i saved both files (tar.gz and .asc) in one folder and did the pgp --verify but it didn't work:

It looks like you didn't import PGP public key. Look my post above.

=Tisf
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Appears the key has been changed. ThomasV himself stated that it's just a copy-paste confusion(?). They key in the link you provided starts looking like the same key you quoted for the first 11 lines, but then it changes on the 12th line. See the last line for example, in your version it's =Tisf and at the url you provided it's =ibXJ.

Someone please explain what's going on.

[Abdussamad]

you can download the key from the github repo too:

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/pubkeys/ThomasV.asc

The full fingerprint is given below. It is not possible to substitute a fake key if you use the full fingerprint to fetch it using gpg:

0x6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6

I created a script that downloads, verifies and offers to install electrum for you:

i'll admit i have no idea why there is a difference!
the only difference i can see is between the version these signatures are using.
the quote is "Version: SKS 1.1.5"
the github one is "Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux)"
on mit servers is "Version: SKS 1.1.5"
https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2BD5824B7F9470E6
same as http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2BD5824B7F9470E6

maybe the method these different versions use to come up with the hash is different so they get a different pubkey but pointing to same thing. have to look deeper in PGP documentations for that

Hash collisions are possible which is why I've said above that you should use the full key fingerprint. If you use a truncated fingerprint (hash) then the chances of a collision are very real. With the full fingerprint there is no chance at all.

i see your point but i wasn't talking about hash collisions. i am saying the difference between these keys is because they are using different versions meaning SKS versus GnuPG.
it is all in the formatting the keyserver uses to store the public keys on their servers.
