ALLOWED SIGNERS
When verifying signatures, ssh-keygen uses a simple list of
identities and keys to determine whether a signature comes from an
authorized source. This "allowed signers" file uses a format
patterned after the AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT described in
sshd(8). Each line of the file contains the following space-
separated fields: principals, options, keytype, base64-encoded key.
Empty lines and lines starting with a '#' are ignored as comments.
The principals field is a pattern-list (see PATTERNS in
ssh_config(5)) consisting of one or more comma-separated
USER@DOMAIN identity patterns that are accepted for signing. When
verifying, the identity presented via the -I option must match a
principals pattern in order for the corresponding key to be
considered acceptable for verification.
The options (if present) consist of comma-separated option
specifications. No spaces are permitted, except within double
quotes. The following option specifications are supported (note
that option keywords are case-insensitive):
cert-authority
Indicates that this key is accepted as a certificate
authority (CA) and that certificates signed by this CA may
be accepted for verification.
namespaces=namespace-list
Specifies a pattern-list of namespaces that are accepted
for this key. If this option is present, the signature
namespace embedded in the signature object and presented on
the verification command-line must match the specified list
before the key will be considered acceptable.
valid-after=timestamp
Indicates that the key is valid for use at or after the
specified timestamp, which may be a date in YYYYMMDD format
or a time in YYYYMMDDHHMM[SS] format.
valid-before=timestamp
Indicates that the key is valid for use at or before the
specified timestamp.
When verifying signatures made by certificates, the expected
principal name must match both the principals pattern in the
allowed signers file and the principals embedded in the certificate
itself.
An example allowed signers file:
# Comments allowed at start of line
user1@example.com,user2@example.com ssh-rsa AAAAX1...
# A certificate authority, trusted for all principals in a domain.
*@example.com cert-authority ssh-ed25519 AAAB4...
# A key that is accepted only for file signing.
user2@example.com namespaces="file" ssh-ed25519 AAA41...
