Dear Community,

According to our schedule, this Friday November 18th, we will be running
the Key Generation Procedure to create the keys to sign .nz

For this procedure, we will be using a customized Ubuntu Live CD to
start the laptop that will serve as console. We'd like to ask you to
download the ISO file to be used to create the Live CD, generate the
SHA256 checksum and post it back to the mailing list. During the
procedure, we will compare the digest posted to the list, with the
digest generated in the laptop.

The purpose of this is two-fold: use a different set of binaries to
create the digest, to make sure our tools haven't been tampered, and to
give the option to the community to review the ISO and see we are using
standard tools for the job.

The ISO is located at
https://secure.nzrs.net.nz/sites/default/files/NZRS-Custom-Live-CD-v1.6.iso

NOTE: On a Unix machine, you can generate the sha256 checksum using

sha256sum NZRS-Custom-Live-CD-v1.6.iso

or

openssl dgst -c -sha256 NZRS-Custom-Live-CD-v1.6.iso

Thanks for your help,

Kind Regards
