After a decent amount of discussion with other OpenPGP users and developers, what i want is potentially more than a simple signature validator (though a simple signature validator is part of it). Rather, i want something that approaches a "stateless OpenPGP command line interface" (or "sop") as documented at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli The "sop" interface is intended to be implementable piecemeal -- you can implement some subcommands and leave others out as the implementation progresses. The subcommand "sop verify" is basically a slightly refined version of the interface i originally requested on this bug report. I'm imagining that the implementation from hopenpgp-tools would be "/usr/bin/hop" -- but of course that's your call. So this wishlist bug report is now asking for the "hop verify" subcommand. (obviously, if other subcommands are implemented, that would be nice too) If, in the course of looking at this, you have ideas for improvements or simplifications for the `sop` generic interface, I welcome those suggestions, either on [email protected], or at https://gitlab.com/dkg/openpgp-stateless-cli Thanks for your efforts on hOpenPGP! --dkg PS the easiest subcommand to implement would be "hop version" if you want to get started, and you already have "hop dearmor" and something close to "hop armor" as subcommands of /usr/bin/hot.
