Sign-hash commands

This section covers commands that you use in SMCTL to sign a hash.

Sign-hash

Sign-hash commands begin with:

smctl sign sign-hash <keypair ID>

Subcommands

The sign-hash command supports these subcommands:

tabel 1. Flag for managing hashing signing

Shortcut

Flag

Description

Signature in binary (default is Base64).

--file string

File path.

--hash string

Base64 hash.

--hash-algorithm string

Hash algorithm. (default "SHA-256")

--non-decorate-signature

Skip ASN1 decoration for ECDSA signatures.

--signature-algorithm string

Signature algorithm. (default "SHA256withRSA").

--signature-file string

Signature file path.

-h

--help
