var HelpModuleAuth = &base.Command{
UsageLine: "module-auth",
Short: "module authentication using go.sum",
Long: `
The go command tries to authenticate every downloaded module,
checking that the bits downloaded for a specific module version today
match bits downloaded yesterday. This ensures repeatable builds
and detects introduction of unexpected changes, malicious or not.
In each module's root, alongside go.mod, the go command maintains
a file named go.sum containing the cryptographic checksums of the
module's dependencies.
The form of each line in go.sum is three fields:
<module> <version>[/go.mod] <hash>
Each known module version results in two lines in the go.sum file.
The first line gives the hash of the module version's file tree.
The second line appends "/go.mod" to the version and gives the hash
of only the module version's (possibly synthesized) go.mod file.
The go.mod-only hash allows downloading and authenticating a
module version's go.mod file, which is needed to compute the
dependency graph, without also downloading all the module's source code.
The hash begins with an algorithm prefix of the form "h<N>:".
The only defined algorithm prefix is "h1:", which uses SHA-256.
Module authentication failures
The go command maintains a cache of downloaded packages and computes
and records the cryptographic checksum of each package at download time.
In normal operation, the go command checks the main module's go.sum file
against these precomputed checksums instead of recomputing them on
each command invocation. The 'go mod verify' command checks that
the cached copies of module downloads still match both their recorded
checksums and the entries in go.sum.
In day-to-day development, the checksum of a given module version
should never change. Each time a dependency is used by a given main
module, the go command checks its local cached copy, freshly
downloaded or not, against the main module's go.sum. If the checksums
don't match, the go command reports the mismatch as a security error
and refuses to run the build. When this happens, proceed with caution:
code changing unexpectedly means today's build will not match
yesterday's, and the unexpected change may not be beneficial.
If the go command reports a mismatch in go.sum, the downloaded code
for the reported module version does not match the one used in a
previous build of the main module. It is important at that point
to find out what the right checksum should be, to decide whether
go.sum is wrong or the downloaded code is wrong. Usually go.sum is right:
you want to use the same code you used yesterday.
If a downloaded module is not yet included in go.sum and it is a publicly
available module, the go command consults the Go checksum database to fetch
the expected go.sum lines. If the downloaded code does not match those
lines, the go command reports the mismatch and exits. Note that the
database is not consulted for module versions already listed in go.sum.
If a go.sum mismatch is reported, it is always worth investigating why
the code downloaded today differs from what was downloaded yesterday.
The GOSUMDB environment variable identifies the name of checksum database
to use and optionally its public key and URL, as in:
GOSUMDB="sum.golang.org"
GOSUMDB="sum.golang.org+<publickey>"
GOSUMDB="sum.golang.org+<publickey> https://sum.golang.org"
The go command knows the public key of sum.golang.org, and also that the name
sum.golang.google.cn (available inside mainland China) connects to the
sum.golang.org checksum database; use of any other database requires giving
the public key explicitly.
The URL defaults to "https://" followed by the database name.
GOSUMDB defaults to "sum.golang.org", the Go checksum database run by Google.
See https://sum.golang.org/privacy for the service's privacy policy.
If GOSUMDB is set to "off", or if "go get" is invoked with the -insecure flag,
the checksum database is not consulted, and all unrecognized modules are
accepted, at the cost of giving up the security guarantee of verified repeatable
downloads for all modules. A better way to bypass the checksum database
for specific modules is to use the GOPRIVATE or GONOSUMDB environment
variables. See 'go help private' for details.
The 'go env -w' command (see 'go help env') can be used to set these variables
for future go command invocations.

The go command defaults to downloading modules from the public Go module
mirror at proxy.golang.org. It also defaults to validating downloaded modules,
regardless of source, against the public Go checksum database at sum.golang.org.
These defaults work well for publicly available source code.
The GOPRIVATE environment variable controls which modules the go command
considers to be private (not available publicly) and should therefore not use the
proxy or checksum database. The variable is a comma-separated list of
glob patterns (in the syntax of Go's path.Match) of module path prefixes.
For example,
GOPRIVATE=*.corp.example.com,rsc.io/private
causes the go command to treat as private any module with a path prefix
matching either pattern, including git.corp.example.com/xyzzy, rsc.io/private,
and rsc.io/private/quux.
The GOPRIVATE environment variable may be used by other tools as well to
identify non-public modules. For example, an editor could use GOPRIVATE
to decide whether to hyperlink a package import to a godoc.org page.
For fine-grained control over module download and validation, the GONOPROXY
and GONOSUMDB environment variables accept the same kind of glob list
and override GOPRIVATE for the specific decision of whether to use the proxy
and checksum database, respectively.
For example, if a company ran a module proxy serving private modules,
users would configure go using:
GOPRIVATE=*.corp.example.com
GOPROXY=proxy.example.com
GONOPROXY=none
This would tell the go command and other tools that modules beginning with
a corp.example.com subdomain are private but that the company proxy should
be used for downloading both public and private modules, because
GONOPROXY has been set to a pattern that won't match any modules,
overriding GOPRIVATE.
The GOPRIVATE variable is also used to define the "public" and "private"
patterns for the GOVCS variable; see 'go help vcs'. For that usage,
GOPRIVATE applies even in GOPATH mode. In that case, it matches import paths
instead of module paths.
The 'go env -w' command (see 'go help env') can be used to set these variables
for future go command invocations.
