Helm's chart verification checks a chart archive against its OpenPGP-signed provenance file, so a user can tell whether the archive was altered and whether the signer is trusted.

Where it sits

3.7 Admission and owner settings (primary): Verifies a chart package against its signed provenance file and the signer's key in the user's keyring, with a verify command and a verify flag on install, and reports a mismatch as a sign the archive was tampered with.

The file hashes in the provenance file do not match the hash of the archive file. This indicates that the archive has been tampered with.

captured

To verify during an install, use the --verify flag.

The key used to sign the file is not in your keyring.
