+# Image Verification
+
+The Tutorials container image is signed using [Sigstore's](https://sigstore.dev/) Cosign. The container image is signed using a cryptographic key pair that is private and stored internally. The public key is available in the official Spectro Cloud documentation repository at [**static/cosign.pub**](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spectrocloud/librarium/master/static/cosign.pub). Use the public key to verify the authenticity of the container image. You can learn more about the container image signing process by reviewing the [Signing Containers](https://docs.sigstore.dev/signing/signing_with_containers) documentation page.
+
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Cosign generates a key pair that uses the ECDSA-P256 algorithm for the signature and SHA256 for hashes. The keys are stored in PEM-encoded PKCS8 format.
+
+
+Use the following command to verify the authenticity of the container image. Replace the image tag with the version you want to verify.
+
+```shell
+cosign verify --key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spectrocloud/librarium/master/static/cosign.pub \
+ghcr.io/spectrocloud/tutorials:1.1.1
+```
+
+If the container image is valid, the following output is displayed. The example output is formatted using `jq` to improve readability.

+Verification for ghcr.io/spectrocloud/tutorials:1.1.1 --
+The following checks were performed on each of these signatures:
+  - The cosign claims were validated
+  - Existence of the claims in the transparency log was verified offline
+  - The signatures were verified against the specified public key
