RPMKEYS(8)                                                          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 manu-
       al matches what's available.
