Notation

Notation is a CLI project to add signatures as standard items in the OCI registry ecosystem, and to build a set of simple tooling for signing and verifying these signatures. This should be viewed as similar security to checking git commit signatures, although the signatures are generic and can be used for additional purposes. Notation is an implementation of the Notary Project specifications.

You can find the Notary Project README to learn about the overall Notary Project.

[!NOTE] The documentation for installing Notation CLI is available here.
