Validating download signatures on Windows
«

noob question, How can I validate the download file signatures on a windows 10 pc?
Here's what I have done...
downloaded the following files from different mirrors:
OPNsense-19.7.pub
OPNsense-19.7-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2
OPNsense-19.7-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2.sig
and confirmed the OPNsense-19.7.pub content matched other mirrors and the forum webpage.
using Kleopatra\GpgEX I have tried to import the public key but consistently get a BER error. (see attachment)
I have tried renaming the OPNsense-19.7.pub with these extensions: asc,gpg,pem,der but import still fails.
The best directions I found online were these,
https://www.gpg4win.org/doc/en/gpg4win-compendium_15.html
Which suggests the first step is importing the public key, I don't know, but I've already tried randomly clicking all the buttons in Kleopatra.
Not sure what to try next, any help would be great.

Try to verify it using openssl on the command line. It is not a GPG signature (it is a public key only and not a certficate).

Thanks! Worked just like the 'Installation & Configuration' guide has it documented. I didn't realize Kleopatra added the OpenSSL command line exe. Here are the specific commands, maybe it will help someone else.
F:\download>openssl base64 -d -in OPNsense-19.7-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2.sig -out OPNsense-19.7-tmp-image.sig
WARNING: can't open config file: /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
F:\download>openssl dgst -sha256 -verify OPNsense-19.7.pub -signature OPNsense-19.7-tmp-image.sig OPNsense-19.7-OpenSSL-dvd-amd64.iso.bz2
WARNING: can't open config file: /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
Verified OK
