Following my example above and after having recreated the iso file:
Insure that you are into the directory where the 'iso', 'jigdo' and
'template' files are located.
Download the files:
$ wget
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/SHA512SUMS.sign
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/SHA512SUMS
Verify the files:
$ gpg --auto-key-retrieve verify SHA512SUMS.sig SHA512SUMS
gpg: key DA87E80D6294BE9B: public key "Debian CD signing key
<debian-cd@lists.debian.org>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
gpg: Good signature from "Debian CD signing key
<debian-cd@lists.debian.org>" [unknown]
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: DF9B 9C49 EAA9 2984 3258 9D76 DA87 E80D 6294 BE9B
Checksum the files:
$ sha512sum -c SHA512SUMS --ignore-missing
debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso: OK
debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo: OK
debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.template: OK
It would be nice if 'sha512sum' and 'gpg' could be included as
executable in the zip archive.
So this step could also be done as part of the process.
For now 'Cygwin' and 'GPGforWin' is one option.
