RPMKEYS(8) System Manager's Manual RPMKEYS(8)
NAME
rpmkeys - RPM Keyring
SYNOPSIS
rpmkeys {--import|--checksig}
DESCRIPTION
The general forms of rpm digital signature commands are
rpmkeys --import PUBKEY ...
rpmkeys {-K|--checksig} PACKAGE_FILE ...
The --checksig option checks all the digests and signatures contained
in PACKAGE_FILE to ensure the integrity and origin of the package. Note
that signatures are now verified whenever a package is read, and
--checksig is useful to verify all of the digests and signatures asso-
ciated with a package.
Digital signatures cannot be verified without a public key. An ASCII
armored public key can be added to the rpm database using --import. An
imported public key is carried in a header, and key ring management is
performed exactly like package management. For example, all currently
imported public keys can be displayed by:
rpm -qa gpg-pubkey*
Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed by
querying. Here's information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key:
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like packages.
Here's how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key
rpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e

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