torverify: Verify Before You Connect

Field notes

The documented check proceeds from the raw string to a PGP signature, then to a quorum of independent signers before producing a verdict. The page specifies byte-for-byte comparison for v3 onion addresses, including rejection of substituted characters and homoglyphs, and distinguishes an unsigned or unknown key from a confirmed record. Its worked examples and clone-tactics section make the trust model inspectable rather than reducing it to a colored badge.
