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}}"
