TL;DR

minisign

A dead simple tool to sign files and verify signatures. More information: https://jedisct1.github.io/minisign/.

  • Generate a new keypair at the default location:

minisign -G

  • Sign a file:

minisign -Sm path/to/file

  • Sign a file, adding a trusted (signed) and an untrusted (unsigned) comment in the signature:

minisign -Sm path/to/file -c "Untrusted comment" -t "Trusted comment"

  • Verify a file and the trusted comments in its signature using the specified public key file:

minisign -Vm path/to/file -p path/to/publickey.pub

  • Verify a file and the trusted comments in its signature, specifying a public key as a Base64 encoded literal:

minisign -Vm path/to/file -P "public_key_base64"
