If you only know the MD5 sum of an original file, you must calculate your copy’s MD5 sum to check if it’s a match. A file will have different MD5, SHA-1, and SHA256 checksums. Different checksum algorithms produce different results. SHA-256 serves a similar purpose to a prior algorithm recommended by Ubuntu, MD5, but is less vulnerable to attack. SHA-256 is a stronger, more secure algorithm. SHA-256 hashes used properly can confirm both file integrity and authenticity. Some Linux distros may also provide SHA-1 sums, although these are even less common. Of course, md5, crc or sha1 come to mind, and if I wanted a quick solution, I'd go for it. The program sha256sum is designed to verify data integrity using the SHA-256 (SHA-2 family with a digest length of 256 bits). We’ll primarily discuss SHA-256 sums here, although a similar process will work for MD5 sums. However, SHA-256 sums are now more frequently used by modern Linux distributions, as SHA-256 is more resistant to theoretical attacks. For example, there are several different types of checksums. Traditionally, MD5 sums have been the most popular. The process may differ a bit for different ISOs, but it usually follows that general pattern. Type cd followed by the path to the folder e.g.: cd Documents Next, type this and press Enter. Navigate to the folder that contains the file wherein the MD5 checksum you want to verify is.

This confirms the ISO file hasn’t been tampered with or corrupted. Use the Windows Command Prompt Press the Windows key + R to open the Run window, type cmd in the text field, and press Enter.

You’ll generate the checksum of your downloaded ISO file, and verify it matches the checksum TXT file you downloaded.

Checksum is a hash value used for performing data integrity. This confirms the checksum itself hasn’t been tampered with. For several downloads on our website MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksum information is provided.

You’ll use the PGP key to verify that the checksum’s digital signature was created by the same person who made the key–in this case, the maintainers of that Linux distribution.

You may get this from the Linux distribution’s website or a separate key server managed by the same people, depending on your Linux distribution.

You’ll get a public PGP key belonging to the Linux distribution.

These may be two separate TXT files, or you may get a single TXT file containing both pieces of data.

You’ll download a checksum and its digital signature from the Linux distribution’s website.You’ll download the Linux ISO file from the Linux distribution’s website–or somewhere else–as usual.The process of checking an ISO is a bit complex, so before we get into the exact steps, let’s explain exactly what the process entails:
