NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       rpmkeys {--import|--checksig}

DESCRIPTION

13       The general forms of rpm digital signature commands are
14
15       rpmkeys --import PUBKEY ...
16
17       rpmkeys {-K|--checksig} PACKAGE_FILE ...
18
19
20
21       The  --checksig  option checks all the digests and signatures contained
22       in PACKAGE_FILE to ensure the integrity and origin of the package. Note
23       that  signatures  are  now  verified  whenever  a  package is read, and
24       --checksig is useful to verify all of the digests and signatures  asso‐
25       ciated with a package.
26
27       Digital  signatures  cannot be verified without a public key.  An ASCII
28       armored public key can be added to the rpm database using --import.  An
29       imported  public key is carried in a header, and key ring management is
30       performed exactly like package management. For example,  all  currently
31       imported public keys can be displayed by:
32
33       rpm -qa gpg-pubkey*
34
35       Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed by
36       querying.  Here's information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key:
37
38       rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
39
40       Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like  packages.
41       Here's how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key
42
43       rpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e

54       rpmkeys  --help  -  as  rpm  supports  customizing the options via popt
55       aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the  man‐
56       ual matches what's available.
