| 4 | In other to keep releases authentic it's required that releases are signed before being |
|---|
| 5 | published. This ensure's that users of Tahoe are able to verify that the version of Tahoe |
|---|
| 6 | they are using is coming from a trusted or at the very least known source. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | The authentication is done using the ``GPG`` implementation of ``OpenGPG`` to be able to complete |
|---|
| 9 | the release steps you would have to download the ``GPG`` software and setup a key(identity). |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | - `Download <https://www.gnupg.org/download/>`__ and install GPG for your operating system. |
|---|
| 12 | - Generate a key pair using ``gpg --gen-key``. *Some questions would be asked to personalize your key configuration.* |

| 14 | You might take additional steps including: |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | - Setting up a revocation certificate (Incase you lose your secret key) |
|---|
| 17 | - Backing up your key pair |
|---|
