Our installers are signed with Authenticode while portable archives are signed with RSA. These signatures ensure authenticity of automatic updates since the update service (Sup) is running under a privileged user. Additionally, you can verify them by hand. Verify Authenticode by opening Properties of the installer (EXE file) in Windows Explorer, switching to the Digital Signatures tab and double-clicking any signature in the list (sha1 or sha256). A window should appear saying "This digital signature is OK." Verify RSA by splitting the archive file in two parts: the signature part is last 512 bytes of it while the rest is the archive itself (signed data), then using openssl's pkeyutl command or another similar tool on the SHA-256 digest. Example: openssl dgst -binary -sha256
