Subject: Lack of detached signatures
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:48:46 -0600 (CST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1109271742460.24832@bruno> (raw)
Hello all:
Under the present circumstances, and particularly considering the
sensitivity of the git code itself, I would suggest that you implement
signed detached digital signatures on all release tarballs. Just a crypto
hash by itself, however strong, does not protect against man-in-the-middle
attacks.
Joseph
