KeyForge

The keyforge utility is used for managing cryptographic keys and signing/verifying messages or data. It provides the following options:

Generate Keys

Generate a new keypair and save it to a file:

$ ./keyforge -o

Sign and Verify

Sign and verify messages or data using your generated keys:

Sign a Message

Sign a message and save the signature:

$ ./keyforge -s "Your message" -o

Sign a File

Sign a file and save the signature:

$ ./keyforge -f -o

Verify a Signature

Verify a message or file's signature using the `keyforge` utility:

$ ./keyforge -pubkey -message "Original message" -signature

Verify a Signature with PeerID

Verify a message or file's signature using a PeerID with the `keyforge` utility:

$ ./keyforge -peerid -message "Original message" -signature

Verify a Signature with OpenSSL

Verify a message or file's signature using OpenSSL:

Create a Signature

Use OpenSSL to create a signature:

$ openssl dgst -sha256 -sign -out message.sig

Verify a Signature

Use OpenSSL to verify a signature:

$ openssl dgst -sha256 -verify -signature message.sig -in

These commands enable you to manage cryptographic keys and perform signing and verification operations, including using OpenSSL for verification, conveniently within the Blockless b7s Node network.
