Mage errors and solutions

Suggerimento

When you sign a manifest file using mage, two signature units are consumed. This is because two hash signatures are created for different types of content within the manifest:

  • The first hash signature is generated for the manifest file itself.

  • The second hash signature is generated for the files referenced within the manifest.

This double-signing process ensures the integrity of both the manifest file and its referenced files, safeguarding against any tampering attempts.
