Gongor

Tool for producing identities

Anagram of "Gorgon".

Actions

  • cargo run -- create eli.key eli.publickey: makes a new key.
  • cargo run -- sign eli.key message.txt [message.sig]: signs a message, optionally writes the signature to a file.
  • cargo run -- validate eli.publickey message.txt message.signed: validates a signature.

TODO

  • Fix up the aegis generation script to ensure that I either have, or don't need, the extensions from Step CA:
    • X509v3 Key Usage: critical
    • Certificate Sign, CRL Sign
    • X509v3 Basic Constraints: critical
    • CA:TRUE, pathlen:1

aegis-generate

This generates an initial ID, known as an 'aegis'. It uses step-ca defaults which puts the data files in $HOME/.step.
