 "A cryptographic signature proves the authenticity of a message or file.
 It
 is created by the holder of the private portion of a [public key
 cryptography](#public-key-cryptography) key pair and can be verified by
 the
 corresponding public key. If you download software from torproject.org,
 you
 will find it as sig files (.asc). These are PGP signatures, so you can
 verify that the file you have downloaded is exactly the one that we
 intended
  you to get. For more information about how you can verify signatures,
 please see https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en."

 "We feel that talking openly about our funders and funding model is the
