FotZIP

Overview

FotZIP is a lightweight, single-file ZIP utility designed for creating and extracting ZIP archives quickly and securely.
Currently, the application runs command-line only (CLI). A GUI version will be added in future releases.

Features

• Create and extract ZIP archives.
• Cross-platform support: Linux, Windows, macOS.
• GPG detached signature support for verifying authenticity.
• Easy to use via terminal or command prompt.

Security & Verification

Each release is signed with a GPG detached signature to ensure integrity and authenticity.

Verifying the Build

1. Import the public key:

gpg --import fotzip_public_key.asc

2. Verify the detached signature:

gpg --verify FotZIP.sig FotZIP

• If the output shows Good signature and the correct key ID (4419366131D22C571C21204E23EE58A626C1A820), the file is authentic.
• If the file has been tampered with or the signature does not match → bad signature will be shown.
