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 sig-
natures associated 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 manual matches what's available.
