It is a good security practice to "verify" downloaded binaries from the internet.
Therefore please add functionality to check the binary checksum.
For example plugin for Terraform does it.

Good point, but from my understanding, the hashicorp plugin can do that securely as hashicorp provides a signature that can be used to verify that the checksum file is the one expected.

We could verify that the downloaded file matches the sha256sum provided, but I assume if someone would spoof the downloaded file, they would also spoof the sha256sum file.
