skopeo-generate-sigstore-key - Man Page

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

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 .

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

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.
