NAME

skopeo-generate-sigstore-key - Generate a sigstore public/private key pair.

SYNOPSIS

skopeo generate-sigstore-key [options] —output-prefix prefix

DESCRIPTION

Generates a public/private key pair suitable for creating sigstore image signatures. The private key is encrypted with a passphrase; if one is not provided using an option, this command prompts for it interactively.

The private key is written to prefix**.private** . The public key is written to prefix**.pub** .

OPTIONS

See also skopeo(1) for options placed before the subcommand name.

—help, -h

Print usage statement

—output-prefix prefix

Mandatory. Path prefix for the output keys (prefix**.private** and prefix**.pub**).

—passphrase-file path

The passphare to use to encrypt the private key. Only the first line will be read. A passphrase stored in a file is of questionable security if other users can read this file. Do not use this option if at all avoidable.

EXAMPLES

$ skopeo generate-sigstore-key —output-prefix mykey
