NAME

6       rpmkeys - RPM Keyring
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rpmkeys {--import|--checksig}
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The general forms of rpm digital signature commands are
13
14       rpmkeys --import PUBKEY ...
15
16       rpmkeys {-K|--checksig} PACKAGE_FILE ...
17
18       The  --checksig  option checks all the digests and signatures contained
19       in PACKAGE_FILE to ensure the integrity  and  origin  of  the  package.
20       Note  that  signatures are now verified whenever a package is read, and
21       --checksig is useful to verify all of the digests and signatures  asso‐
22       ciated with a package.
23
24       Digital  signatures  cannot be verified without a public key.  An ASCII
25       armored public key can be added to the rpm database using --import.  An
26       imported  public key is carried in a header, and key ring management is
27       performed exactly like package management.  For example, all  currently
28       imported public keys can be displayed by:
29
30       rpm -qa gpg-pubkey*
31
32       Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed by
33       querying.  Here's information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key:
34
35       rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
36
37       Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like  packages.
38       Here's how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key
39
40       rpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e

46       rpmkeys --help - as rpm  supports  customizing  the  options  via  popt
47       aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manu‐
48       al matches what's available.
