CozyNet PGP

How to verify PGP signatures

Install gpg on your system.
Download or copy the above public PGP key and import it into your local keystore.
gpg --import cozynet_pub.key
Verify the signature file. I’ve included a test file above for practice.
gpg --verify pgp_verify_test.asc

You should receive the following output with the pgp_verify_test.asc example file.

  gpg: Signature made Mon 20 Feb 2023 11:04:32 AM CST
  gpg:                using RSA key A818F97FD407B0283F536967A0CA128F4A608FF2
  gpg: Good signature from "CozyBroz (cozybroz@cozynet.org XMPP and future mail) " [ultimate]
  gpg: WARNING: not a detached signature; file 'pgp_verify_test' was NOT verified!

Note the highlighted green section verifying the signature as good. The orange section can be ignored in this case since the file was not a detached signature. I recommend reading some on PGP encryption, but this is the basic gist of it here.
