Sectigo Quantum Ready development release verification Use a reviewed copy of scanner/verify_release.py and an independently trusted release-key.json from your administrator. Do not execute a verifier extracted from an unverified archive. A key downloaded beside an archive is a reference, not an independent trust source. Download these three artifacts without opening or extracting the archive: sectigo-quantum-ready-bundle.zip manifest.json manifest.sig From your reviewed verifier checkout, run: python scanner/verify_release.py --manifest manifest.json --signature manifest.sig --archive sectigo-quantum-ready-bundle.zip --trusted-key /path/to/trusted-release-key.json --expected-version 0.14.0 Use the expected version communicated through your trusted release process. Optionally add --minimum-sequence N from your trusted release record. Successful verification prints verified=true with the version, key ID, sequence and expiration. Only then review/extract/install the bundle. Verification never extracts files, installs dependencies or executes updates. Initial development key ID (SHA-256 of raw Ed25519 public key): 057ea0f9faf27f6710f042be3286d595951b5beb1f959e1a9ca5ba0daed9b832 Ed25519 is a classical signature, not a post-quantum signature. This development release key is not evidence of corporate signing-key authorization, secure build provenance, malware freedom or production admission. Automated updates, key rotation/revocation, enterprise key custody and TUF integration are pending.
