[[https://gnupg.org/|GnuPG]] is aka //(also known as)// [[wp>GNU_Privacy_Guard|GPG]]. We need this tool to verify/authenticate downloaded files //(or messages)// to find-out whether files //(or messages)// are indeed what actual file //(or message)// creator/author/developer actually released/shared/created/sent, So this tool will indicate/tell us whether received files //(or messages)// were modified/altered/changed/abused/corrupted by someone or some-device in the middle of file/msg travel path or during file/msg travel path, or this tool will indicate to us NO modification was done during file/msg travel path.

Most trustworthy way to obtain such pub-key is: goto a [[wp>Key_signing_party|KSP]] or conference and meet actual file/msg creator/developer & obtain pub-key file directly, (or else, the next (slightly-less) trustworthy solution is: use [[wp>Web_of_trust|WoT]] & inspect pub-key components to compare & verify a pub-key's authenticity). File/msg creator/developer [[wp>Digital_signature|signs]] main-file //(or main-msg)// with their **prv**-key, & that creates an unique **sig** //(signature)// file for a main-file //(or main-msg)//, then file/msg creator/dev shares main-file //(or main-msg)// & sig-file with public. This (GnuPG) tool can use sig-file, pub-key file, & main-file //(or main-msg)//, & can indicate if the main-file //(or main-msg)// was actually released by the actual holder of the pub-key, or not. Install a GUI frontend / wrapper for this tool. | ● __GnuPG for OSX__ ([[https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpgosx/|dev]], [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpgosx/files/|dnld]]) : verifies file's/message's authenticity.
