Subject: in-header PGP patch attestation in latest master
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2020 15:58:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201123205842.owomj4qojgjmtjzr@chatter.i7.local> (raw)

Hi, all:

The latest master implements in-header PGP attestation, following my 
ongoing work on that subject. I am now convinced that my initial 
attestation implementation via detached "certification documents" is not 
sufficiently fault-tolerant due to requiring access to lore.kernel.org 
for verification, so I'm moving on to in-header attestation in hopes to 
come up with a better scheme that doesn't require any central 
infrastructure pieces for verification purposes.

You can read more about my proposal here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mricon/patch-attestation-poc.git/tree/README.rst

The latest b4 implements the PGP attestation mode both for generating 
and attesting patch signatures. If you would like to trial it out, the 
easiest way to enable it is via git's sendemail-validation hook and is 
described in the README:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/b4/b4.git/tree/README.rst#n33

Please let me know if it's working for you or not.

-K
