code.delx.au - refind/blob - keys/README.txt

   1 This directory contains known public keys for Linux distributions and other
   2 parties that sign boot loaders and kernels that should be verifiable by
   3 shim. I'm providing these keys as a convenience to enable easy installation
   4 of keys should you replace your distribution's version of shim with another
   5 one and therefore require adding its public key as a machine owner key
   6 (MOK).
   7
   8 Files come with three extensions. A filename ending in .crt is a
   9 certificate file that can be used by sbverify to verify the authenticity of
  10 a key, as in:
  11
  12 $ sbverify --cert keys/refind.crt refind/refind_x64.efi
  13
  14 The .cer and .der filename extensions are equivalent, and are public key
  15 files similar to .crt files, but in a different form. The MokManager
  16 utility expects its input public keys in this form, so these are the files
  17 you would use to add a key to the MOK list maintained by MokManager and
  18 used by shim.

  20 The files in this directory are, in alphabetical order:
  21
  22 - altlinux.cer -- The public key for ALT Linux (http://www.altlinux.com).
  23
  24 - canonical-uefi-ca.der -- Canonical's public key, used to sign Ubuntu
  25   boot loaders and kernels.
  26
  27 - fedora-ca.cer -- Fedora's public key, used to sign Fedora 18's version of
  28   shim and Fedora 18's kernels.
  29
  30 - refind.cer & refind.crt -- My own (Roderick W. Smith's) public key,
  31   used to sign refind_x64.efi and the 64-bit rEFInd drivers.
