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 437124a8b9583f80dc183a739626ddc07efb66d6
./scripts/verify-hash --ii-hash 071544d27d3ac1ce82b1046e63459ce50c2fd1cc9bf18cfc3a8cdb92fc057780

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