Sign the supplied blob, outputting the base64-encoded signature to stdout.

```
cosign sign-blob [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  cosign sign-blob --key <key path>|<kms uri> <blob>

  cosign sign-blob <FILE> --output-signature <FILE> --output-certificate <FILE>

  # sign a blob with a local key pair file
  cosign sign-blob --key cosign.key <FILE>

  # sign a blob with a key stored in an environment variable
  cosign sign-blob --key env://[ENV_VAR] <FILE>

  # sign a blob with a key pair stored in Azure Key Vault
  cosign sign-blob --key azurekms://[VAULT_NAME][VAULT_URI]/[KEY] <FILE>

  # sign a blob with a key pair stored in AWS KMS
  cosign sign-blob --key awskms://[ENDPOINT]/[ID/ALIAS/ARN] <FILE>
