In reply to It's Now Possible To Sign Arbitrary Data With Your SSH Keys

Anonymous on 2023-10-24 at 15:36:

It's good that OpenSSH team added the signing but I wouldn't use it: - Inconvinient command line. Why the signing tool is called ssh-KEYGEN? Arguments are difficult to understand. The allowed signers file should be juset created somewhere in a default location. - Again as with signify the OpenSSH team decided to use own format instead of standard PKCS#7. Extensions of signatires aren't specified. Here you used .sig but this is already used by PGP and other programs like Kleopatra will be unable to open it. The cryptogtpgaphy needs a wide adoption but here fragmentaions only increased. - namespaces is somemthing really weird and just won't be used in wild.
