Missing feature

Checksums (SHA256/512) and GPG signatures for Moolticute binaries.

Justification

Given the critical part the Moolticute app plays in managing the Mooltipass devices, it seems important that users should be able to authenticate and verify the binaries they download before installing and using them.

Workarounds

Are there any workarounds you currently have in place because the feature is missing? None.

Unless I'm mistaken, on windows & macOS this is "done" using our certificates.

I referred to Apple's Platform Security Guide, and it confirms what you said. I can't speak to the Windows implementation.

It would be chiefly of benefit to Linux users, from the looks of things.

Knowing the SHA values and validating the signature is just another way to allow users to check on security.
