With the 5.5 release, the whole of OpenBSD is now signed, which of course includes packages. The tools (pkg_add) were already signature-ready a few years ago, but the advent of a simple signing tool (signify, courtesy of Ted Unangst) gave it some momentum. Here's a look at what's new in pkg_add in 5.5, specifically what goes on under the hood, and the shape of things to come. This will also go back to design specifics, and how this fits within the general philosophy of OpenBSD.
