Hey guys,

I've been reading all kinds of stuff on the snapd and snap packages. Can they be signed? or is it just another 0install just a bit fancier?

I mean it would a bit irresponsible if snap packages could not be signed in a sound way like for example official DEBs can in the stable repository.

How can I trust a snap package hasn't been tampered from the time it was first created or last update to posting its link on the website and up to the moment the file lands on the user's system?

Just curious I guess.

Thanks in advance
