The details of the Amazon ECS PGP public key for reference:
Key ID: BCE9D9A42D51784F Type: RSA Size: 4096/4096 Expires: Never User ID: Amazon ECS Key fingerprint: F34C 3DDA E729 26B0 79BE AEC6 BCE9 D9A4 2D51 784F
-
Import the file with the Amazon ECS PGP public key with the following command in the terminal.
gpg --import <public_key_filename.txt>
-
Download the AWS Copilot CLI signatures. The signatures are ASCII detached PGP signatures stored in files with the extension
.asc
. The signatures file has the same name as its corresponding executable, with.asc
appended. -
Verify the signature with the following command.
-
For macOS and Linux systems:
gpg --verify copilot.asc /usr/local/bin/copilot
-
For Windows systems:
gpg --verify 'C:\copilot\copilot.asc' 'C:\copilot\copilot.exe'
Expected output:
gpg: Signature made Tue Apr 3 13:29:30 2018 PDT gpg: using RSA key DE3CBD61ADAF8B8E gpg: Good signature from "Amazon ECS <ecs-security@amazon.com>" [unknown] gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Primary key fingerprint: F34C 3DDA E729 26B0 79BE AEC6 BCE9 D9A4 2D51 784F Subkey fingerprint: EB3D F841 E2C9 212A 2BD4 2232 DE3C BD61 ADAF 8B8E
Important
The warning in the output is expected and is not problematic. It occurs because there is not a chain of trust between your personal PGP key (if you have one) and the Amazon ECS PGP key. For more information, see Web of trust
