You need GnuPG installed. The whole process takes about ten seconds.
Download cryptoservers-pubkey.asc and run gpg --import cryptoservers-pubkey.asc
The key fingerprint MUST be 4DCF 5D6D 10AF F2AA 47E2 070E A62A EDAF 647E E3E6. Cross-check via _openpgpkey.cryptoservers.io DNS and keys.openpgp.org.
Save the signed block: curl -o canary.asc https://cryptoservers.io/canary/current.asc
Run gpg --verify canary.asc. Output must include “Good signature” and the fingerprint from step 2. If not — stop and treat the canary as compromised.
Every past canary is downloadable. The current week sits at the top; older weeks populate as the calendar advances.

Rows marked “not yet” are future or not-yet-materialised weeks — each becomes a downloadable .asc on the first page load after that Monday.
A warrant canary is not a cryptographic proof of anything positive — it is a ritual of negative disclosure. In jurisdictions where a legal order can compel a provider not to speak about the order itself, the order cannot compel the provider to continue to publish a signed statement that the order has not occurred. The absence of the expected signature therefore communicates information that the issuing authority cannot lawfully block.
Our canary is renewed every Monday. If the W17-2026 signing is not followed by a 2026-04-27 signing (or a same-week infrastructure-incident post-mortem on /status that explains the delay), the reasonable inference after 2026-05-04 is that Cryptoservers Ltd has received a category of order described above and has been compelled to remain silent about it. You should then migrate away, rotate credentials, and treat our infrastructure as hostile until the canary returns with a fresh post-mortem.
