Code-signing credentials

Different platforms want private keys and certificates in different formats. To correctly sign all the supported formats, you need your keys in the following format:

  • Code-signing key and certificate in PKCS12 format for Windows
  • OS X keychain file that contains a valid installer signing certificate issued from Apple. This requires you to be a member of the Mac Developer Program. Create a separate keychain, add your code signing key and certificate, and use this keychain file.
  • GPG secret/public keypair in separate GPG public keyring and GPG secret keyring.

test.mk contains the variable definitions to point to those files.

Creating your own GPG key

Generate a new GPG key with gpg --full-generate-key:

  • When asked what kind of key you want, select "(1) RSA and RSA (default)".
  • When asked what key size you want, enter "4096" bits.
  • When asked how long the key should be valid, enter "0" (key does not expire).
  • When asked for your real name, enter "Bogus Test".
  • When asked for your email address, enter "[email protected]".
  • When asked for a comment, enter "This is test only key".
  • When asked for the secret password, enter the password from test.gpg.password.txt.

Export your public key & private key

gpg --export             KEYID > test.gpg
gpg --export --armor     KEYID > test.ascii.key
gpg --export-secret-keys KEYID > test.secret.gpg
cat test.gpg >sandbox.gpg
cat test.secret.gpg >>sandbox.gpg

Verify the newly created keyring. Note that the keyring options must have some directory name parts in it, or else it's treated as they are in ~/.gnupg

gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring=./test.gpg --secret-keyring=./test.secret.gpg --list-keys
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring=./test.gpg --secret-keyring=./test.secret.gpg --list-secret-keys
