Verify Your Download

Verify your download for security and integrity using the proper checksum and signature file. If the checksum file has a valid signature from one of the the Fedora Project's OpenPGP certificates, and the SHA256 checksum matches the download, then the download is valid.

  • Download the checksum file and signature into the same directory as the image you downloaded.

  • Download Fedora's OpenPGP certificates.

    curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.pgp
    curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg

    You can verify the details of the OpenPGP certificates here.

  • Verify the signature file is valid

  • Download the checksum file and signature into the same directory as the image you downloaded.

  • Download Fedora's OpenPGP certificates.

    curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.pgp
    curl -O https://fedoraproject.org/fedora.gpg

    You can verify the details of the OpenPGP certificates here.

  • Verify the signature file is valid

    gpgv --keyring ./fedora.gpg fedora-coreos-44.20260928.3.1-exoscale.x86_64.qcow2.xz.sig fedora-coreos-44.20260928.3.1-exoscale.x86_64.qcow2.xz

  • Verify the checksum matches

    sha256sum --ignore-missing -c fedora-coreos-44.20260928.3.1-exoscale.x86_64.qcow2.xz-CHECKSUM

If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!


Alternatively, if you just want to test for unintentional file corruption, you can skip the OpenPGP verification. The SHA256 checksum for this download should be:

We Take Security Seriously

Once you have downloaded an image, be sure to verify it for both security and integrity.

By calculating a image's checksum and comparing it to its original checksum, you can verify that a image has not been tampered with or corrupted. Images are also signed with the Fedora Project's OpenPGP keys to demonstrate their integrity.

Click the verify button to get instructions tailored for your download.
