| IndieAuth using gpg | 2021-05-14T11:38:53+02:00 | false | post |
I rediscovered IndieAuth and wanted to try it finally.
As authentication method I decided to use my gpg key, because it's public anyway and something interesting and new to me (I actually never signed anything on the console before).
It took a little try and error before I found the following solution for signing the key:
gpg --clearsign --default-key name@example.tld gpgmessage.txt
It's not perfect; it requires to put the message that needs to be signed in a file and puts the signed message in a new file with an .asc ending. It would be much nicer if it would allow to do both directly on the console.
