Digital Signature on ExifTool file

[Songdog1]

Mr. Harvey:

Is it possible to put a digital signature on the ExifTool file and to post that signature so we can verify that the file we are downloading is the original file you are putting on the server and not a hacked one?

For this I would suggest doing an MD5 checksum.  You can add the checksum to the image using ExifTool, but this will require that it be removed again before verifying the checksum.

I think Songdog1 means the executable, similar to what's talked about in this thread.

Oh, thanks StarGeek.  That makes more sense.

You can compare the release files against the shah and md5 checksums here:

Yes, you described it perfectly.

Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for.
