The command "cosign generate-key-pair" generates a key pair for use with the Cosign tool.
Cosign is a tool used for signing container images and verifying their integrity. It uses cryptographic keys to sign and verify signatures, ensuring that the images have not been tampered with.
When you run the "cosign generate-key-pair" command, it generates a public-private key pair. The private key should be kept secret and securely stored, while the public key can be shared or distributed.
The generated key pair can be used with other Cosign commands, such as "cosign sign" to sign container images or "cosign verify" to verify the signatures of container images. These commands rely on the generated key pair for cryptographic operations.
