Signing

keys sign

Sign image.png creates image.png.sig (armored, detached, Saltpack signature):

keys sign -s gabriel@github -i image.png

Create a signed message from stdin (armored, attached, saltpack signature):

echo -n "I'm gabriel on Github 🤓" | keys sign -s gabriel@github > msg.signed

Override the default format with -armor -attached and create an armored signed message for a file, image.png.signed:

keys sign -s gabriel@github -i image.png -armor -attached

Default Format

For files, the default is armored, detached. For stdin, the default is armored, attached.

Saltpack version 2 signing is currently the only output format.
