WWW: https://github.com/hughsie/libjcat Description: # This library allows reading and writing gzip-compressed JSON catalog files,
which can be used to store GPG, PKCS-7 and SHA-256 checksums for each file. It
provides equivalent functionality to the catalog files supported in Microsoft
Windows. Unlike Microsoft catalog files which are a signed manifest of hashes,
a Jcat file is a manifest of signatures. This means it's possible (and
positively encouraged) to modify the .jcat file to add new signatures or replace
existing ones. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
