It would be great if verification of NK firmware releases was easier; e.g. the [Downloads page](https://www.nitrokey.com/download) currently doesn’t have the fingerprint and link to the public key of @daringer (Markus Meissner), even though he signs the new Nitropad firmware releases.
FWIW I think the correct fingerprint of that key is `CC74 B712 0BFA A36F F428 6872 4C14 49F1 C980 4176`, but it would be nice to have confirmation (here, but also on the website and in other places).
For the Nitrokey firmware there is not even a signature file published with the release; it would be nice if there was.
That said, I like your products! Great work!

Hey @newNKuser
updated my github profile page to list it: [daringer (Markus Meissner) · GitHub](https://github.com/daringer)
Furthermore, the Nitrokey 3 Firmware has a signed binary inside the (zip) package, which is checked during firmware upload - so that why there is no need for an additional detached sign next to the files.
