Verifying Software Package Integrity
To prevent a software package from being maliciously tampered with during transmission or storage, download the corresponding digital signature file for integrity verification when downloading the software package.
After the software package is downloaded from the Support website, verify its PGP digital signature by referring to the OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide. If the verification fails, do not use the software package. Contact Huawei technical support.
Before a software package is used for installation or upgrade, its digital signature also needs to be verified by referring to the OpenPGP Signature Verification Guide to ensure that the software package has not been tampered with.
