Wasm Verification

To build the wasm modules yourself and verify their hashes, run the following commands from the root of the Internet Identity repository:

git pull # to ensure you have the latest changes.
git checkout 703244a5fae6be851aa3c38a198947336781a18e
./scripts/verify-hash     --ii-hash 2a1e029dc5a4743a3a76eb57a0ab8bc99396bf2b49490345112bafff2fd4b423     --iife-hash c15979b8638911e0ffcad9d07d58c7df25cbdb1edd1092f937323073d6a7e3ad     --archive-hash 03bb89037da843d1560c574a2cfbb9ec46336d9162dba30c17a2868652b0ad2d

Make sure to compare the hashes also with the proposal payload when verifying canister upgrade proposals.
