📓 Lab 5: Signing containers with PGP

In this lab we are going to sign our own containers, and then push it to the SCS.

If you don't have a PGP key yet, you will need to generate one.

$ singularity key newpair
Enter your name (e.g., John Doe) : Firstname Lastname
Enter your email address (e.g., [email protected]) : [email protected]
Enter optional comment (e.g., development keys) : a comment
Enter a passphrase :
Retype your passphrase :
Would you like to push it to the keystore? [Y,n] Y
Generating Entity and OpenPGP Key Pair... done

To see the signing keys available:

$ singularity key list

Public key listing (/home/anonymous/.singularity/sypgp/pgp-public):

0) U: David Trudgian (demo) <[email protected]> <-- User
   C: 2022-11-15 09:54:54 -0600 CST                <-- Creation timestamp
   F: E5F780B2C22F59DF748524B435C3844412EE233B     <-- Fingerprint
   L: 4096                                         <-- Key length
   --------

Now that a key is generated, a SIF image can be signed, lets pull an unsigned image:

$ singularity pull container_lab5.sif docker://alpine:latest
INFO:    Converting OCI blobs to SIF format

INFO:    Creating SIF file...
$ singularity sign container_lab5.sif

Signing image: container_lab5.sif
Enter key passphrase :
Signature created and applied to container_lab5.sif

Next, let's verify the SIF image:

singularity verify container_lab5.sif

Verifying image: container_lab5.sif
[LOCAL]   Signing entity: Firstname Lastname (Demo keys) <[email protected]>
[LOCAL]   Fingerprint: 65833F473098C62D69E5CEE85D448
Objects verified:
ID  |GROUP   |LINK    |TYPE

1   |1       |NONE    |Def.FILE
2   |1       |NONE    |JSON.Generic
3   |1       |NONE    |FS
Container verified: container_lab5.sif

Now you can push an image to the Singularity library, assuming your username is Joe you can specify the destination as follows:

$ singularity push container_lab5.sif library://<account>/directory/image:tag
...
