NAME

elfverify - program to do something

SYNOPSIS

elfverify [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the elfverify command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

elfverify is used to verify the signature added to an ELF binary by elfsign. It calculates the MD5 checksum of the binary, skipping over the signature section. The signature is then extracted, and verified as being issued by a trusted authority. Finally, the signature is decrypted and compared against the MD5 checksum derived.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

-h: Show summary of options.
-f elf image: The name of the ELF binary image you wish to sign
-c ca cert file: The CA certificate that was used to sign the binary
-p ca cert path: Something intelligent needs to go here
