Harness the power of signify(1) to sign arbitrary git objects

Last update: Jul 27, 2023

Overview

git-signify

A tool to sign arbitrary objects in a git repository.

Generating keys

Signing keys can be generated with signify, from the OpenBSD project.

$ signify -G -p newkey.pub -s newkey.sec

If you do not wish to encrypt your keys, pass the -n flag to the command line of signify.

Basic usage

This program keeps track of signatures made by a keypair with a given fingerprint as git references. References can be fetched from and pushed to a remote.

$ git signify pull origin
$ git signify push origin

Verification can be done with git signify verify. For example, to verify a release of git-signify itself:

$ git pull --tags
$ git signify pull
$ git signify verify -k <(curl -sfL https://gandas.us.to/keys/git.pub) v0.3.0

To sign git revisions, run something akin to:

$ git signify sign -k <secret-key> v0.3.0

In-depth

Brief overview of how this program works

git-signify writes a tree object to some git repository containing the following blobs:

100644 blob aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa	object
100644 blob bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb	signature

Where object stores the raw (20 byte) object id of some git object to be signed, and signature stores the signature over object. The tree's hash is returned by git signify raw sign.

Storing signatures in tags

To store signatures in tags, one must use the "raw" mode of git-signify. The raw flags supported by this program and their respective documentation can be checked by running the following commands:

$ git signify raw -h
$ git signify raw sign -h
$ git signify raw verify -h

The suggested approach to store signatures in tags is the following:

$ SIGNATURE_TREE=$(git signify raw sign -k $SECRET_KEY $OBJECT_TO_SIGN)
$ SIGNATURE_COMMIT=$(git commit-tree $SIGNATURE_TREE -m Signature)
$ git tag signature-$OBJECT_TO_SIGN $SIGNATURE_COMMIT
$ git push --tags

Verification can then be done with:

$ git signify raw verify -p -k $PUBLIC_KEY $SIGNATURE_COMMIT^{tree}

Replace top-level sign and verify commands
Related to #1 and #2

The top-level sign and verify commands should be replaced with higher level commands that store signature trees in git references, and read from these references, respectively.

Example:

# writes to .git/refs/signify/signatures/<key-fingerprint>/<git-revision> $ git signify sign -k <key> <git-revision> # reads from .git/refs/signify/signatures/<key-fingerprint>/<git-revision> $ git signify verify -k <key> <git-revision>

Move `sign` and `verify` to low level commands section
The primitives sign and verify should seldom be used directly. We should move them to a sub-command like:

$ git signify primitive sign ... $ git signify primitive verify ...
enhancement

Store signatures in git references
References to signatures can be stored in a namespace identical to:

.git/refs/signify/signatures/<fingerprint>/<signed-object-id>

Where <fingerprint> is the result of running git hash-object on the raw public key bytes of a user identity (i.e. keypair), and <signed-object-id> corresponds to the id of a signed object. The content of the reference can be the output of signing an object with git signify.
