Start working on "cute" signatures because why not? Cute signatures are
inspired/ripped of from the signify and minisign design:
Key (URL-Safe, padded base64):
- 2 bytes of version tag (specifies the algorithm)
- 16 bytes of key ID
- Public/Private key (size depending on the version tag)
Signature (raw):
- 2 bytes of version tag (specifies the algorithm)
- Signature depending (size depending on the version tag)
The new scheme uses libsodium and thus the work of
abstracting cryptographic operations from libcrypto should also be
completed. Also, since the key of the signature is provided in the
filename, there shouldn't be a need for ID
There is also the possibility of using epheremal keys for signatures and
sign the package's public key, signature and signing timestamp in the header
such as:
- 2 bytes of version tag
- signing timestamp
- epheremal public key used
- epheremal signature
- signature of the previous sections
