You basically replicate Tom's proposal, with a few key changes:
1) metadata per archive registration, not per archive.
2) the use of x509
3) keeping tla out of the TCB.
4) minor logic about whether to dumb-copy signatures or to optionally
resign.
Now, on 2 and 3 I agree completely - as my feedback to Tom on 3 should
show.
4) I think Tom has it right here, once the magic-detection is removed -
and Tom has indicated a command line flag is ok.
1) I think that the archive should indicate signatures are required, and
the key to use should be local metadata - again, already in my feedback.
I'd like you to look at my feedback, and see if you have further
critiques - as Tom's design is something that we can hack on, whereas
your's isn't - you need to get onto tla ;).
