mini-HOWTO
1. Create a keypair
$ signify -G -p key.pub -s key.sec -c "my first key"
2. Create a stand-alone (or "detached") signature
$ signify -S -s key.sec -m file.txt
3. Create a combined signature (message embedded after sig)
$ signify -S -e -s key.sec -m file.txt
4. Verify a signature
$ signify -V -p key.pub -m file.txt
5. Verify a signed sha256 digest list*
$ sha256sum --tag linux-signify.tar.bz2 > SHA256SUMS
$ signify -S -e -s key.sec -m SHA256SUMS
$ signify -C -p key.pub -x SHA256SUMS.sig
* signify expects a BSD-style digest list which can be created on
Linux using the "--tag" flag of sha256sum(1) (from coreutils)
6. Inspect a key and print its 64-bit base64-encoded fingerprint
$ signify -I -p key.pub
$ signify -I -s key.sec
7. Add or change a passphrase on a secret key (requires passphrase patch)
$ signify -P -s key.sec
8. Remove a passphrase on a secret key (requires passphrase patch)
$ signify -P -n -s key.sec
For more information, refer to the manpage.
