Minisign is a dead simple command-line tool for signing files and verifying digital signatures using the Ed25519 public-key signature system. It is portable, lightweight, cross-platform, and compatible with OpenBSD's signify signature format.
Use cases
- sign files with a digital signature
- verify file signatures before distribution
- generate ed25519 key pairs for signing
- sign software release artifacts
- replace gpg for simple file signing
- verify downloaded binaries authenticity
When to avoid
- you need full PGP/GPG key management and web of trust
- you need certificate-based or X.509 signing
- you need integrated key distribution infrastructure
