rsign2
A Rust implementation of Minisign.
All signatures produced by rsign can be verified with minisign including trusted comments.
And minisign is able to sign files with keys generated by rsign.
In Rust, signatures can also be verified with the minisign-verify crate.
rsign2 is a maintained fork of rsign, originally written by Daniel Rangel.
Main differences with rsign:
- rsign2 is written in pure Rust.
- rsign2 has less dependencies.
- rsign2 includes bug fixes and improvements.
- rsign2 tries to be usable as a library, not just as a command-line tool.
Usage
Generates a new key pair. The public key is printed in the screen and stored in rsign.pub
by default. The secret key will be written at ~/.rsign/rsign.key
. You can change the default paths with -p
and -s
respectively.
Sign myfile.txt
with your secret key. You can add a signed trusted comment with:
If you are signing files larger than 1Gb you must use -H
to first hash the file and sign the hash after that:
And to verify the signature with a given public key you can use:
Or if you have saved the signature file with a custom name other than myfile.txt.minisig
and want to use a public key string you can use:
You can find more information using the help subcommand as in:
rsign help [SUBCOMMAND]
