## Method ## Method
Step 1: Collecting Information **Step 1: Collecting Information**
Including 1. an input file to sign
- an input file to sign 2. a secure passphrase for use on an ssh key
- a secure passphrase for use on an ssh key 3. a secure passphrase for use as an ARGON2ID salt
- a secure passphrase for use as an sha256/sha512 salt
Step 2: Generating New Single-Use SSH Key Pair **Step 2: Generating New Single-Use SSH Key Pair**
- ed25519 by default 1. ed25519 by default
- secured with provided passphrase 2. secured with provided passphrase
Step 3: Generating Checksums
- Normal sha256 and sha512 checksums are generated of the input file and logged **Step 3: Generating Checksums**
- sha256(passphrase+file contents) and sha512(passphrase+file contents) disgests are calculated and logged 1. Normal sha512 and sha256 checksums are generated of the input file and logged
Step 4: Signing Files 2. secure argon2id(passphrase+file contents) digest is made and logged
- Original file is signed by the ssh key with a detached signature file
- checksums file is signed by the ssh key with a detached signature file **Step 4: Signing Files**
Step 5: Verification 1. Original file is signed by the ssh key with a detached signature file
- Both file and checksums files signates are checkeed against the ssh public key 2. checksums file is signed by the ssh key with a detached signature file
- The original file is tested with normal sha256, normal sha512, salted sha256, and salted sha512
Step 6: Output Public Files **Step 5: Verification**
- Public files are added to a new directory and compressed with 7zip 1. Both file and checksums files signates are checkeed against the ssh public key
2. The original file is tested with normal sha256, normal sha512, salted argon2id
**Step 6: Output Public Files**
1. Public files are added to a new directory
2. secure random dotfile name is generated and placed in the public output directory
3. dotfile is filled with secure binary data to break any signature matches
4. public output directory is compressed and optionally encrypted with 7zip
