Abstract
Techniques for signing a package manager file are disclosed. An example method includes receiving, at a signing client, a package manager file and a signing request to cryptographically sign the package manager file. The package manager file includes a header and a payload. The method also includes inspecting the header of the package manager file to determine whether the header includes a digest comprising a hash of the payload. Responsive to determining that the header does include the digest, the method also includes sending the header from the signing client to a signing server without sending the payload, and receiving a signed header from the signing server.
