NAME

sign - OpenCA PKCS#7 Sign Tool

SYNOPSIS

sign [-in file][-out file][-cert file][-keyfile file]
[-key passwd][-nd][-verbose]

DESCRIPTION

You can find two programs in this distro: sign and verify. The first signs given data, adds to the signature a time, the siger's certificate and, if wanted, the data (not encrypted).

Signing tool syntax is as follows:

usage: sign args

-in file        - Input file
-out file       - File where to write to
-cert file      - Certificate file
-keyfile file   - Sign key file
-key            - Password protecting the private key
-nd             - No detach signature
-verbose        - Verbose printing

Jus one note on the -nd flag: when used the data is added to the PKCS7 structure toghether with signature and other stuff. It is possible to retrieve such data using the corresponding verify tool.

EXAMPLE

sign -in README -out README.sig -cert cert.pem -keyfile key.pem \
	-key mypasswd -nd
