The signature.asc file that is attached to all automated emails being sent from [email protected] and [email protected] can be used to verify whether the email was actually sent by Kraken.

You don’t need to open it
, since it’s a file that is meant to be decrypted by PGP software.
- •
It contains a
PGP
text block which is generated by using both the content of the email and Kraken's PGP private key. Generally email providers will automatically decrypt this text with the public key of Kraken, and show you whether a sender is verified.
