Description-en: Lightweight cryptographic signing and verifying tool
Similar to GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), signify is the tool which
OpenBSD uses to cryptographically sign its releases, so that
you can be sure that you are actually getting a release made by
OpenBSD, as opposed to a malicious forgery designed to look
the same.
.
Signify's usage is not limited to OpenBSD's releases, however -
it can be used to sign anything.
.
So that it will work on Linux, the version of signify provided
in this package is not exactly the same as the version provided
in OpenBSD's CVS tree.
.
Note that for convenience OpenBSD's public keys are shipped in the
signify-openbsd-keys package, but you can also download them
yourself.
