SYNOPSIS
elfverify
[options] files...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the elfverify command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
elfverify is used to verify the signature added to an ELF binary by elfsign. It calculates the MD5 checksum of the binary, skipping over the signature section. The signature is then extracted, and verified as being issued by a trusted authority. Finally, the signature is decrypted and compared against the MD5 checksum derived.
