ZipSign is a command line tool sign and verify ZIP archives. ZipSign uses Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) to sign Zip archives. The signature is stored within the Zip archive's comment. See the "How it works" section on zipsign's GitHub page for further details. **Sign a Zip Archive** ``` zipsign sign -f archive.zip -p private-key.pem -c cert.pem ``` **Verify a previously signed Zip Archive** ``` zipsign verify -f archive.zip -c cert.pem ``` **Features** * sign and verify Zip archives * optionally embed certificates in the archive * support of self signed certificates **Limitation of Snap-Version** The snap limits access to files within the home directory of the current user. To overcome this issue, you can compile the tool from source. If you prefer precompiled binaries or `.deb`-packages, please leave an issue on zipsign's github page. ### Package name * zipsign --- ### License * MPL-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 20 May 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [github.com/falk-werner/zipsign](https://github.com/falk-werner/zipsign "https://github.com/falk-werner/zipsign") --- ### Source code * [github.com/falk-werner/zipsign](https://github.com/falk-werner/zipsign "https://github.com/falk-werner/zipsign") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/falk-werner/zipsign/issues](https://github.com/falk-werner/zipsign/issues "https://github.com/falk-werner/zipsign/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/zipsign/rhel#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install zipsign Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install zipsign To install zipsign, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install zipsign ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
