We've all expressed reasonable doubt. In the US you can be assured
that the USPS will open, scan, read, and deliver your mail. So it's
reasonable to believe that they may also tamper with your openbsd

Let me mention my sadness at trying to research this.

a binding legal contract. So the boilerplate looked okay but there was a

I think you're in trouble. Some of the software on the openbsd CDs was written

Commercial software is the same. They make it clear that no promises are
made that the software is fit for any particular purpose in the EULA. My
assumption is making such a promise would hold them accountable when it
failed, and I doubt any company would find it profitable to invest in
enough

the things they look for is proof that the software your using isnt

You'll be safe enough.
Can the project wire an explosive booby trap inside the CD box to ensure
that any sneaky postman is blown away by the awesomeness of openBSD ?

Hi,
We are going to use a OpenBSD system in a PCI-DSS compliant environment.
Is there any way we can prove to our PCI-DSS assessor that the OpenBSD
image we use for our installation can be checked so that it is the correct
one (is not modified in a malicious way by a third party) ?

The sha256 file located in the directory with the installxx.iso image has the

I think you are missing two very important points that are addressed in
the official documentation and have been pointed out to you by other
respondents:
1. what you are asking for provides NO real added security, and perhaps
just the opposite through FALSE SENSE of security, and

If you're paranoid, build your own hardware from the ground up,
including designing your own CPU and
maintaining a mirror and a cvs sync tree is quite good too.

If I were a dissident in one of those countries, I would not trust a third

AFAIK OpenBSD is Canada, not US, but again, I might be wrong.

I was saying that other projects do it in a way they feel comfortable with

Using https was one simple idea. I understand that you don't think that
