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.
