Step 3: Import Electrum's Signing Key
Launch Kleopatra:
Open Kleopatra from your Start Menu.
Import Electrum's Signing Key:
Electrum's public signing key needs to be imported into Kleopatra for verification. You can usually find instructions or the key itself on the Electrum website's download section.
In Kleopatra, go to "File" > "Import Certificates" and navigate to the downloaded key file or paste the copied key text if directed to do so from the website.
Step 4: Verify the Signature
Open Kleopatra:
Ensure it's already running or open it via the Start Menu.
Verify the Signature:
In File Explorer, navigate to the directory where the Electrum installer and the signature file are located.
Right-click the signature file (electrum-x.x.x-setup.exe.asc) and select "More GpgEX options" > "Verify".
Kleopatra will check the signature against the file. If everything matches, a verification result window will confirm the signature's validity.
Step 5: Interpret Verification Results
Successful Verification: A message indicating that the signature is valid confirms the Electrum installer is genuine and has not been altered. You can proceed with the installation.
Failed Verification: If the verification fails, do not proceed. Ensure you've downloaded the correct signing key and files from official sources. If problems persist, seek assistance or download the files again.
