One of the fundamental security measures of the Tor Browser Bundle is that it is distributed by a trusted source, the Tor Project, and for this purpose the project provides PGP signatures to allow verification of authenticity for the source and binary packages they offer for download. This security measure is disregarded when third parties distribute their own packaged versions of TBB, since there's no easy way to prove these packages haven't been modified from their officially distributed versions." | * [[http://www.webupd8.org/2013/12/tor-browser-bundle-ubuntu-ppa.html|Tor Browser Bundle Ubuntu PPA]] ... the easy but **less trusted** way to do this\\ "Use this PPA at your own risk.
