安装软件之前，验证数字签名！

下载完成、安装 Tor 浏览器之前，要进行数字签名验证。这一步非常重要！

大家使用 Tor 浏览器是为了上网的隐私和匿名，所以一定要重视软件本身的安全。让我们从最最开始的地方确保软件安全：下载 Tor 浏览器的安装文件之后，不要急着点击安装，而是进行“签名验证”。

有人可能会问：我是从官方网站下载的还会不安全吗？为什么要验证签名？

是的，即使从官方网站下载，也可能不安全，具体原因就不在这里详细解释，大家有兴趣可以自己去查。

验证签名的目的是为了确认你下载到电脑里的文件，与我们想要提供给你的文件完全相同，而没有被任何第三方篡改。一旦被人篡改，那就不是我们想要提供给你的 Tor 浏览器。

以上四种方式都提供 Tor 浏览器下载链接以及对应的 .asc 数字签名文件，请同时下载这两个文件，将它们保存在电脑的同一个文件夹里。不要更改文件名称。
