-===== Fingerprints of Signing Keys ===== 
  
-This section is only relevant if you want to use PGP to verify downloads. This involves what's called signatures and the Torproject has an explanation of [[https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en|How to verify signatures]]. 
- 
-Please note that this is a wiki page that can be edited by anyone. This list has been published here for reference but if possible, we recommend that you check the own websites of each project when looking for fingerprints. 
- 
-*EDIT* The list has been removed for now but will be back soon (in another location where not everyone can edit it and also with a PGP signature of it's own). Once that's done we'll link to it.
