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
