The hackage security library provides both server and
client utilities for securing the Hackage package server
(<http://hackage.haskell.org/>). It is based on The Update
Framework (<http://theupdateframework.com/>), a set of
recommendations developed by security researchers at
various universities in the US as well as developers on the
Tor project (<https://www.torproject.org/>).
The current implementation supports only index signing,
thereby enabling untrusted mirrors. It does not yet provide
facilities for author package signing.
The library has two main entry points:
"Hackage.Security.Client" is the main entry point for
clients (the typical example being @cabal@), and
"Hackage.Security.Server" is the main entry point for
servers (the typical example being @hackage-server@).
