Hash: SHA1

Hi,
The first time you install you have to use a tool that can generate a hash of 
the downloaded package. You can then compare that hash with the one on the 
webpage to know that the package downloaded is the same one the website says it 
is.

For example,

Download the GPGTools installer
Next to the green arrow you will see a link to sha
Open terminal on the mac (I'm assuming you are on a mac)
Navigate to your downloads folder
Usually "cd Downloads"
Enter the command "openssl sha1 [filename]" where filename is the name of the 
file you downloaded
compare the result given with the checksum value given on the website.

This will let you know if the file you downloaded has been altered. However, it 
doesn't tell you if the website itself has been compromised. 

Russell
