### Verify the authenticity of downloaded binary (optional)
InfluxData cryptographically signs each Telegraf binary release.
For added security, follow these steps to verify the signature of your download with `gpg`.
(Most operating systems include the `gpg` command by default.
If `gpg` is not available, see the [GnuPG homepage](https://gnupg.org/download/) for installation instructions.)
1. Download and import InfluxData's public key:
```
curl -sL https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | gpg --import
```
2. Download the signature file for the release by adding `.asc` to the download URL.
For example:
```
wget https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.14.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz.asc
```
3. Verify the signature with `gpg --verify`:
```
gpg --verify telegraf-1.14.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz.asc telegraf-1.14.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz
```
The output from this command should include the following:
```
gpg: Good signature from "InfluxDB Packaging Service <support@influxdb.com>" [unknown]
```
