Fedora keeps you safe

Learn how to verify your downloads

Verify your download

Once you have downloaded an image, be sure to verify it for both security and integrity.

By calculating the image’s checksum on your own computer and comparing it to the original checksum, you can verify the image has not been tampered with or corrupted. Images are also gpg signed with Fedora keys to demonstrate their integrity.

Click the verify button to get instructions tailored for your download.

Verify with CHECKSUM files

If your download comes with a CHECKSUM file, follow these easy steps to verify your image for both security and integrity.

  • Import Fedora's GPG key(s)

    curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg
  • List Fedora's GPG key(s)

    gpg --with-fingerprint --show-keys --keyid-format long fedora.gpg

    You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) below.

  • Verify the CHECKSUM file is valid

    gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg *-CHECKSUM
  • Verify the checksum matches

    sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM

If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!

Package signing keys

Learn how Fedora uses package signing to help protect you.

Each stable RPM package published by the Fedora Project is signed with a GPG signature. By default, dnf and the graphical update tools will verify these signatures and refuse to install any packages that are not signed or have bad signatures. You should always verify the signature of a package before you install it. These signatures ensure that the packages you install are what was produced by the Fedora Project and have not been altered (accidentally or maliciously) by any mirror or website that is providing the packages.
