# elfverify(1)

program to do something

## 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
