## Verifing signatures
Get Kee's key and import it:
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oxen-io/oxen-core/master/utils/gpg_keys/KeeJef.asc
gpg --import KeeJef.asc
```
Get the signed hash for this release, the SESSION_VERSION needs to be updated for the release you want to verify
```
export SESSION_VERSION=1.6.1
wget https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/releases/download/v$SESSION_VERSION/signatures.asc
```
Verify the signature of the hashes of the files
```
gpg --verify signatures.asc 2>&1 |grep "Good signature from"
```
The command above should print "`Good signature from "Kee Jefferys...`"
If it does, the hashes are valid but we still have to make the sure the signed hashes matches the downloaded files.
Make sure the two commands below returns the same hash.
If they do, files are valid
```
sha256sum session-desktop-linux-amd64-$SESSION_VERSION.deb
grep .deb signatures.asc
```
