Optional: Verify the integrity of the AWS SAM CLI installer

When installing the AWS Serverless Application Model Command Line Interface (AWS SAM CLI) using a package installer, you can verify its integrity before installation. This is an optional, but highly recommended step.

The two options of verification available to you are:

  • Verify the package installer signature file.

  • Verify the package installer hash value.

When available for your platform, we recommend verifying the signature file option. This option offers an extra layer of security since the key values are published here and managed separately from our GitHub repository.

Verify the installer signature file

Linux

arm64 - command line installer

AWS SAM uses GnuPG to sign the AWS SAM CLI .zip installer. Verification is performed in the following steps:

  1. Use the primary public key to verify the signer public key.

  2. Use the signer public key to verify the AWS SAM CLI package installer.

To verify the integrity of the signer public key

  1. Copy the primary public key and save it to your local machine as a .txt file. For example, primary-public-key.txt.

  4. Import the signer public key to your keyring.

    $ gpg --import signer-public-key.txt
							
gpg: key 4094ABB1BEDFDAB4: public key "AWS SAM CLI Team <aws-sam-cli-signer@amazon.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found

    Take note of the key value from the output. For example, 4094ABB1BEDFDAB4.

  5. Use the key value to obtain and verify the signer public key fingerprint.

    $ gpg --fingerprint 4094ABB1BEDFDAB4
							
pub   rsa4096 2025-05-19 [SCEA] [expires: 2027-05-19]

uid           [ unknown] AWS SAM CLI Team <aws-sam-cli-signer@amazon.com>

    The fingerprint should match the following:

    EF46 3E86 CA31 933B B688  CC1A 4094 ABB1 BEDF DAB4

    If the fingerprint string doesn’t match, do not use the AWS SAM CLI installer. Escalate to the AWS SAM team by creating an issue in the aws-sam-cli GitHub repository.

  6. Verify the signatures of the signer public key:

    $ gpg --check-sigs 4094ABB1BEDFDAB4
						  
pub   rsa4096 2025-05-19 [SCEA] [expires: 2027-05-19]

sig!         42FD5F7A73AD885A 2025-05-19  AWS SAM CLI Primary <aws-sam-cli-primary@amazon.com>

    If you see 1 signature not checked due to a missing key, repeat the previous steps to import the primary and signer public keys to your keyring.

    You should see the key values for both the primary public key and signer public key listed.

Now that you have verified the integrity of the signer public key, you can use the signer public key to verify the AWS SAM CLI package installer.

To verify the integrity of the AWS SAM CLI package installer

  1. Obtain the AWS SAM CLI package signature file – Download the signature file for the AWS SAM CLI package installer by using the following command:

    $ wget https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/releases/latest/download/aws-sam-cli-linux-arm64.zip.sig

  2. Verify the signature file – Pass both the downloaded .sig and .zip files as parameters to the gpg command. The following is an example:

    $ gpg --verify aws-sam-cli-linux-arm64.zip.sig aws-sam-cli-linux-arm64.zip

    The output should look similar to the following:

    gpg: Signature made Mon 19 May 2025 01:21:57 AM UTC using RSA key ID 4094ABB1BEDFDAB4
gpg: Good signature from "AWS SAM CLI Team <aws-sam-cli-signer@amazon.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: EF46 3E86 CA31 933B B688  CC1A 4094 ABB1 BEDF DAB4

    • The WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! message can be ignored. It occurs because there isn’t a chain of trust between your personal PGP key (if you have one) and the AWS SAM CLI PGP key. For more information, see Web of trust.

    • If the output contains the phrase BAD signature, check that you performed the procedure correctly. If you continue to get this response, escalate to the AWS SAM team by creating an issue in the aws-sam-cli GitHub repository and avoid using the downloaded file.

    The Good signature from "AWS SAM CLI Team <aws-sam-cli-signer@amazon.com>" message means that the signature is verified and you can move forward with installation.

AWS SAM uses GnuPG to sign the AWS SAM CLI .zip installer. Verification is performed in the following steps:

  1. Use the primary public key to verify the signer public key.

  2. Use the signer public key to verify the AWS SAM CLI package installer.

To verify the integrity of the signer public key

  1. Copy the primary public key and save it to your local machine as a .txt file. For example, primary-public-key.txt.

    If the fingerprint string doesn’t match, do not use the AWS SAM CLI installer. Escalate to the AWS SAM team by creating an issue in the aws-sam-cli GitHub repository.

  6. Verify the signatures of the signer public key:

    $ gpg --check-sigs 4094ABB1BEDFDAB4
							
pub   rsa4096 2025-05-19 [SCEA] [expires: 2027-05-19]
      EF463E86CA31933BB688CC1A4094ABB1BEDFDAB4
uid           [ unknown] AWS SAM CLI Team <aws-sam-cli-signer@amazon.com>
sig!3        4094ABB1BEDFDAB4 2025-05-19  [self-signature]
sig!         42FD5F7A73AD885A 2025-05-19  AWS SAM CLI Primary <aws-sam-cli-primary@amazon.com>

    If you see 1 signature not checked due to a missing key, repeat the previous steps to import the primary and signer public keys to your keyring.

    You should see the key values for both the primary public key and signer public key listed.

Now that you have verified the integrity of the signer public key, you can use the signer public key to verify the AWS SAM CLI package installer.

To verify the integrity of the AWS SAM CLI package installer

  1. Obtain the AWS SAM CLI package signature file – Download the signature file for the AWS SAM CLI package installer by using the following command:

    $ wget https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/releases/latest/download/aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip.sig

  2. Verify the signature file – Pass both the downloaded .sig and .zip files as parameters to the gpg command. The following is an example:

    $ gpg --verify aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip.sig aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip

    The output should look similar to the following:

    gpg: Signature made Mon 19 May 2025 01:21:57 AM UTC using RSA key ID 4094ABB1BEDFDAB4
gpg: Good signature from "AWS SAM CLI Team <aws-sam-cli-signer@amazon.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: EF46 3E86 CA31 933B B688  CC1A 4094 ABB1 BEDF DAB4

    • The WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! message can be ignored. It occurs because there isn’t a chain of trust between your personal PGP key (if you have one) and the AWS SAM CLI PGP key. For more information, see Web of trust.

    • If the output contains the phrase BAD signature, check that you performed the procedure correctly. If you continue to get this response, escalate to the AWS SAM team by creating an issue in the aws-sam-cli GitHub repository and avoid using the downloaded file.

    The Good signature from "AWS SAM CLI Team <aws-sam-cli-signer@amazon.com>" message means that the signature is verified and you can move forward with installation.

macOS

GUI and command line installer

You can verify the integrity of the AWS SAM CLI package installer signature file by using the pkgutil tool or manually.

To verify using pkgutil

  1. Run the following command, providing the path to the downloaded installer on your local machine:

    $ pkgutil --check-signature /path/to/aws-sam-cli-installer.pkg

    The following is an example:

    $ pkgutil --check-signature /Users/user/Downloads/aws-sam-cli-macos-arm64.pkg

  2. From the output, locate the SHA256 fingerprint for Developer ID Installer: AMZN Mobile LLC. The following is an example:

    Package "aws-sam-cli-macos-arm64.pkg":
   Status: signed by a developer certificate issued by Apple for distribution
   Notarization: trusted by the Apple notary service
   Signed with a trusted timestamp on: 2023-05-16 20:29:29 +0000
