✨ NAME ✨

ecdsaverify — ECDSA verification, aka "did this signature actually come from that key or are we being lied to" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ecdsaverify [-s signature] [-p pubkey] [-n num] file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, ecdsaverify takes a file that was signed and decides if that signature was possibly created with a particular public key. that's the whole vibe check. 👑

the signature can either already be chillin' at the bottom of the file (convenient, love that for us), or you can pass it in yourself via the -s attribute. either way works, no cap.

• -s — signature. particularly useful for binary files so you can pass it separately instead of trying to shove it inside the file. lowkey a lifesaver for binaries fr fr.
• -p — public key. the one you're checking against. 💖

Nils Schneider</purl> — yes, the icon who made this all happen. not me being obsessed with their work ✨

💀 reminder bestie: -n num is in the synopsis up there, so don't come for me if you see it — it's literally part of the usage line, iykyk.
