Confirming a Torzon market link with a signed message

A signature turns 'someone said so' into 'this key said so', which you can test.

Updated · 4 sections

Get the key first

Obtain the signing key from a source you trusted before the new Torzon market link appeared.

Verify the message

Check that the signature is valid for that key and that the message has not been altered.

Read the date

Confirm the signed text is recent. An old valid signature can be reposted to support stale links.

Note the fingerprint

Record which key fingerprint confirmed the Torzon URL alongside the entry.
