NAME
               sign - OpenCA PKCS#7 Sign Tool

SYNOPSIS
               sign [-in file][-out file][-cert file][-keyfile file]
               [-key passwd][-nd][-verbose]

DESCRIPTION
       You can find two programs in this distro: sign and verify. The first
       signs given data, adds to the signature a time, the siger's certificate
       and, if wanted, the data (not encrypted).

       Signing tool syntax is as follows:

       usage: sign args

        -in file        - Input file
        -out file       - File where to write to
        -cert file      - Certificate file
        -keyfile file   - Sign key file
        -key            - Password protecting the private key
        -nd             - No detach signature
        -verbose        - Verbose printing

       Jus one note on the -nd flag: when used the data is added to the PKCS7
       structure toghether with signature and other stuff. It is possible to
       retrieve such data using the corresponding verify tool.

EXAMPLE
               sign -in README -out README.sig -cert cert.pem -keyfile key.pem \
                       -key mypasswd -nd
