All of the release distribution packages have been digitally signed (using PGP or GPG) by the ASF committers that constructed them. There will be an accompanying distribution.asc file in the same directory as the distribution. The PGP/GPG keys can be found at the MIT key repository and within this project's KEYS file at https://www.apache.org/dist/jmeter/KEYS.
Always check signatures to validate package authenticity, e.g., $ pgpk -a KEYS $ pgpv apache-jmeter-5.6.2.tgz.asc or, $ pgp -ka KEYS $ pgp apache-jmeter-5.6.2.tgz.asc or $ gpg --verify apache-jmeter-5.6.2.tgz.asc apache-jmeter-5.6.2.tgz
We also offer SHA512 hashes to validate the
integrity of the downloaded files. See the
distribution.sha512 files.
Note that such hashes are only useful as a check that the file has been downloaded OK.
They do not provide any guarantee that the downloaded file is authentic.
