OakBuild - Give authenticity and integrity to your scripts

by•
Converts shell scripts into signed binaries. Optionally, sign the binaries so that recipients can know that you made them. The signature also enables versioning of your script. Authenticity, integrity, and versioning of your script - all in one binary.

Scripts are brittle. After being passed around many people, confidence in their integrity is gone. OakBuild takes a script (shell and Python at this moment) and produces a binary embedding the script. Then, it cryptographically sign the binary with your private key. Recipients of the binary can verify its integrity and know that you made it by verifying the embedded public key. Hardening scripts and having confidence in using them - that's the goal of the project.
