-# Notes:
-#
-# Generate keys
-#   The initial implementation uses 2048 bit RSA key pairs (public + private).
-#   Public keys must be available for a customer to install and verify an artifact.
-#   Private keys should be stored in a secure location and NOT be distributed.
-#     (They're only for creating artifacts).
-#
-#
-# .IAF file format
-#   .iaf = "Inspec Artifact File", easy to rename if you'd like something more appropriate.
-#   The iaf file wraps a binary artifact with some metadata. The first implementation
-#   looks like this:
-#
-# INSPEC-PROFILE-1
-# name_of_signing_key
-# algorithm
-# signature
-# <empty line>
-# binary-blob
-# <eof>
-#
-# Let's look at each line:
-# INSPEC-PROFILE-1:
-#   This is the artifact version descriptor. It should't change unless the
-#   format of the archive changes.
-#
-# name_of_signing_key
-#   The name of the public key that can be used to verify an artifact
-#
-# algorithm
-#   The digest used to sign, I picked SHA512 to start with.
-#   If we support multiple digests, we'll need to have the verify() method
-#   support each digest.
-#
-# signature
-#   The result of passing the binary artifact through the digest algorithm above.
-#   Result is base64 encoded.
-#
-# <empty line>
-#   We use an empty line to separate artifact header from artifact body (binary blob).
-#   The artifact body can be anything you like.
-#
-# binary-blob
-#   A binary blob, most likely a .tar.gz or tar.xz file. We'll need to pick one and
-#   stick with it as part of the "INSPEC-PROFILE-1" artifact version. If we change block
-#   format, the artifact version descriptor must be incremented, and the sign()
-#   and verify() methods must be updated to support a newer version.
-#
-#
-# Key revocation
-#   This implementation doesn't support key revocation. However, a customer
-#   can remove the public cert file before installation, and artifacts will then
-#   fail verification.
-#
-# Key locations
-#   This implementation uses the current working directory to find public and
-#   private keys. We should establish a common key directory (similar to /hab/cache/keys
-#   or ~/.hab/cache/keys in Habitat).
-#
-# Extracting artifacts outside of Inspec
-#   As in Habitat, the artifact format for Inspec allows the use of common
-#   Unix tools to read the header and body of an artifact.
-# To extract the header from a .iaf:
-#        sed '/^$/q' foo.iaf
-# To extract the raw content from a .iaf:
-#        sed '1,/^$/d' foo.iaf
