1. Verify Signature


Regardless which OS, first download the mAid GPG key
How to verify GPG signed files on Linux or Mac OS
Open a command line / terminal and type: 

#0DF962FE4E345A610C0C029375F507E560664923

gpg --import mAid_signing.key
gpg --verify mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso.sha512
where "mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso.sha512" is the downloaded mAid ISO hash sum (!) file, for example: 

gpg --verify mAid_v4.1-light_x86_64.iso.sha512

How to verify GPG signed files on Windows
Download GPG4Win Check its integrity Install it and if asked which UI you prefer, "Kleopatra" should fit for the most.
Open a terminal and type: 

cd Downloads
(replace that with your download folder where you can find the key, ISO and hash file)

gpg --import mAid_signing.key
gpg --verify mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso.sha512

2. Verify SHA512 hashes


How to verify a SHA512 hash on Linux or Mac OS
Open a command line / terminal and type: 

sha512sum -c mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso.sha512
OR
shasum -a 512 -c mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso.sha512
where "mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso.sha512" is the downloaded mAid ISO hash sum (!) file and must be in the same directory as the ISO file. For example: 

sha512sum -c mAid_v4.1-light_x86_64.iso.sha512
OR
shasum -a 512 -c mAid_v4.1-light_x86_64.iso.sha512
How to generate a SHA512 hash on Windows
Open the command prompt and type: 

certutil -hashfile "mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso" SHA512
where "mAid_vX.x.x_XYZ.iso" is the downloaded mAid ISO file, for example: 

certutil -hashfile "mAid_v4.1-light_x86_64.iso" SHA512
Or, if you have Windows PowerShell installed, you can also do: 

Get-FileHash -Path mAid_v4.1-light_x86_64.iso -Algorithm SHA512
Now compare the long string with the one displayed for that version above or shown in the automation channel.
