minisign

A dead simple tool to sign files and verify signatures.

• 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}"
