The lack of a clear API in securesystemslib has been described in #270 (also see below for related issues).

The new Signer API (secureystemslib.signer) provides a by far more powerful replacement API for signing and verifying digital signatures.

This issue calls for the removal of legacy interfaces/implementation, in order to finalise securesystemslib's transition to the Signer API.

IMPORTANT: The removal and a subsequent release must be coordinated with securesystemslib users, most notably in-toto, python-tuf, and RSTUF. cc @adityasaky, @SantiagoTorres, @trishankatdatadog, @jku, @joshuagl, @kairoaraujo, @MVrachev.

Modules to remove

  • keys.py
  • {rsa, ecdsa, ed25519}_keys.py
  • interface.py
  • schema.py
  • _sslib_signer.py
  • settings.py

Other

  • formats.py (remove all but encode_canonical)
  • remove deprecated methods in SSlibKey

Maybe revise

  • util.py (e.g. #245)
  • hash.py
  • storage.py (consider move to python-tuf)

cc @woodruffw: This should have no effect on sigstore-python (as encode_canonical() remains available) but FYI.

Thanks for the heads up!

Remove migrate key script but keep link in README
82287e4 
In preparation for the removal of legacy key interfaces and formats
(secure-systems-lab#731), we provided a key file migration script in docs/ (secure-systems-lab#658).

The script itself uses the legacy interfaces and thus should be removed
from the current git tree together with them.

This patch removes the script, including tests and test data, but keeps
a tagged reference in the README, so that it can still be used with the
pre-legacy-removal version of securesystemslib.

  • hash.py
  • storage.py (consider move to python-tuf)

That's all what's left here. I suggest to move the discussion to #270 and close here.
