Hard to tell, are you using the same hash algorithm for the comparison
(if I remember correctly Tripwire does not support sha2 family hash
algorithms).

Currently there is no signing support for config or database files (see

AIDE v0.16.2 has been released over 3 years ago, please consider to use
the latest stable release.
