#### Sign and verify ZIP archives.

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.
