Verifiability of releases

We provide following ways to verify the authenticity and integrity of official releases:

Docker Image Verification with Cosign

All official Docker images are signed using Cosign. To verify a Docker image:

1. Install cosign CLI

2. Verify the image signature (replace <IMAGE_TAG> with the tag you want to verify):

   cosign verify --certificate-identity-regexp="https://github.com/DefGuard/gateway" \
     --certificate-oidc-issuer="https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" \
     ghcr.io/defguard/defguard:<IMAGE_TAG>
   

Release Asset Verification

All release assets (binaries, packages, etc.) include SHA256 checksums that are automatically generated and published with each GitHub release:

1. Download the release asset and copy its corresponding checksum from the releases page

2. Verify the checksum:

   # Linux/macOS
   echo known_sha256_checksum_of_the_file path/to/file | sha256sum --check
