How can I verify the PGP signature of https://liteaddress.org on Windows?
Suppose I want to download a copy of https://liteaddress.org in order to run it offline in a safe environment. Then how can I verify that the website hasn't been hacked? How can I verify that the downloaded copy is legitimate and not compromised?
The website explains this:
If you are familiar with PGP you can download this all-in-one HTML page and check that you have an authentic version from the author of this site by matching the SHA256 hash of this HTML with the SHA256 hash available in the signed version history document linked on the footer of this site.
I have just started to read what PGP is because I don't know what PGP and SHA256 hash even are and how they work.
My knowledge of computers is very basic. I mean, I know how to use a computer, but PGP, SHA256, etc. are too technical for me.
Can someone explain to me step by step (assuming my knowledge regarding these topics is zero) how to verify the PGP signature of liteaddress.org?
