NAME

         verify - PKCS#7 Signatures Verification Tool
 
 
 

SYNOPSIS

         verify [-signature file] [-out file] [-data file] [-cf file]
         [-cd dir] [-print_data] [-verbose]
 
 
 

DESCRIPTION

         -signature file Signature file
         -out file       Output file
         -data file      File containing signed data
         -cf file        CA's certificate file
         -cd certsdir    CAs' certificates directory
         -print_data     Print Signed Data to outfile
         -verbose        Verbose output
 
 
 

NOTES

The signature file is the file containing the PKCS7 structure to be verified. Now it is possible to verify only PEM formatted pkcs7, such files do have header and footer lines as follows:

-----BEGIN PKCS7----- ASDADSSDASDASDa.... ................... ....DSDSADADSADS== -----END PKCS7-----

Providing the -cf file usually will fit for most applications, however if you have chained certificates you can use the -cd certsdir to specify the directory where CA certificates (and hashes values) are kept.

EXAMPLE

         ./verify -signature README.sig -verbose -cf cacert.pem
