The Signed-off-by in commit messages doesn't have anything to do with
SSH, GPG etc. signing, it's just a way of signaling that you're the
author of the change, and/or can certify it as being includable in the
project for authorship & copyright reasons. It's mostly used in
linux.git and git.git, see a "git grep Signed-off-by" in those for more
details.
