My gpg key is on the bitcoin.org homepage: http://bitcoin.org/gavinandresen.asc .... which you can access securely (and see the history of) at: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/blob/master/gavinandresen.asc If you're really super-duper paranoid, you could also fetch it from the MIT pgp keyserver or look for it in the bitcointalk forums archives. Import it into pgp/gpg, then you can verify that the download checksums you have are correct with: gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc All that assuming you're running Linux. If you're Windows or OSX, the latest downloads are code-signed and checked for integrity automatically by Windows/OSX. -- -- Gavin Andresen
