## Verifying the downloads

To ensure the integrity of the release artifacts they are digitally signed. You can find more information about
the way that we sign releases here. To verify the integrity of the downloaded files you must use signatures 
downloaded from our main distribution directory not from the distribution mirrors.

MD5 checksums can be verified simply by regenerating the checksum and comparing it against the checksum 
(the md5 file) supplied with the release. There are various utilities that can be used to generate the checksum, 
for example

    :::text
    openssl md5 apache-etch-1.4.0-windows-x86-setup.exe

or

    :::text
    md5sum apache-etch-1.4.0-windows-x86-setup.exe

PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the [KEYS](http://www.apache.org/dist/etch/KEYS) as well as the asc signature file for the relevant distribution. Make sure you get these files from our [main distribution directory](http://www.apache.org/dist/etch/), rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using, for example

    :::text
    pgpk -a KEYS
    pgpv apache-etch-1.4.0-windows-x86-setup.exe.asc

or

    :::text    
    pgp -ka KEYS
    pgp apache-etch-1.4.0-windows-x86-setup.exe.asc

or

    :::text
    gpg --import KEYS
    gpg --verify apache-etch-1.4.0-windows-x86-setup.exe.asc
