Verifying Binaries

1. Import the signing key:

   gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DDEA0314FAE6420CA54CB80D9F8705905758331F

2. Verify that the key has been imported:

   gpg --list-keys signing@statuscake.com

   Check the output is:

   pub   ed25519 2026-10-28 [SC] [expires: 2030-01-01]
         DDEA0314FAE6420CA54CB80D9F8705905758331F

3. Download the binary and its corresponding shasums and signature from the releases page.

4. Verify the signature of the shasums file:

   gpg --verify cakectl_x.y.z_SHA256SUMS.sig cakectl_x.y.z_SHA256SUMS

   This should give you a similar output to that below:

gpg: Signature made Sun Feb  8 15:30:24 2026 GMT
gpg:                using EDDSA key DDEA0314FAE6420CA54CB80D9F8705905758331F
gpg:                issuer "signing@statuscake.com"
gpg: Good signature from "StatusCake (Code signing for statuscake.com) <signing@statuscake.com>" [ultimate]

1. Verify the shasum of the binary matches the value in the shasums file:

   sha256sum -c --ignore-missing cakectl_x.y.z_SHA256SUMS

   This should give you a similar output to that below:

   cakectl_x.y.z_linux_amd64.tar.gz: OK
