Verifying the OVA using openssl

You can use openssl to verify the OVA file you downloaded against a signature file (SIG). Replace VERSION with the file's version:

openssl dgst -verify - -signature ~/gke-on-prem-admin-appliance-vsphere-VERSION.ova.1.sig ~/gke-on-prem-admin-appliance-vsphere-VERSION.ova <<'EOF'
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEWZrGCUaJJr1H8a36sG4UUoXvlXvZ
wQfk16sxprI2gOJ2vFFggdq3ixF2h4qNBt0kI7ciDhgpwS8t+/960IsIgw==
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
EOF

Expected output of this command is Verified OK.

Verifying gkectl using openssl

Verify the gkectl binary against the public key using openssl, where VERSION is the file's version:

sudo -E gsutil cp gs://gke-on-prem-release/gkectl/VERSION/gkectl.1.sig /tmp/gkectl.1.sig
openssl dgst -verify - -signature /tmp/gkectl.1.sig /usr/bin/gkectl <<'EOF'
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEWZrGCUaJJr1H8a36sG4UUoXvlXvZ
wQfk16sxprI2gOJ2vFFggdq3ixF2h4qNBt0kI7ciDhgpwS8t+/960IsIgw==
