<h3>Checksums and signatures</h3>
<p>SHA-256 checksums are provided for all release and pre-release binaries.
They can be found under

The checksums for jq 1.6 are in

<p>Additionally, all binaries are signed by the
<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jqlang/jq/master/sig/jq-release.key">jq Package Signing Key</a>.
The signatures can be found under
<a href="https://github.com/jqlang/jq/tree/master/sig">sig/v1.x/*.asc</a>.

You can use <a href="https://gnupg.org/">GnuPG</a> to verify a signature by downloading
the signature and running <code>gpg --verify signature.asc</code>.</p>
