4 | In other to keep releases authentic it's required that releases are signed before being |
---|
5 | published. This ensure's that users of Tahoe are able to verify that the version of Tahoe |
---|
6 | they are using is coming from a trusted or at the very least known source. |
---|

---|
8 | The authentication is done using the ``GPG`` implementation of ``OpenGPG`` to be able to complete |
---|
9 | the release steps you would have to download the ``GPG`` software and setup a key(identity). |
---|
10 | |
---|
11 | - `Download <https://www.gnupg.org/download/>`__ and install GPG for your operating system. |
---|
12 | - Generate a key pair using ``gpg --gen-key``. *Some questions would be asked to personalize your key configuration.* |

14 | You might take additional steps including: |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | - Setting up a revocation certificate (Incase you lose your secret key) |
---|
17 | - Backing up your key pair |
