Signing tools for PE-COFF binaries. Compliant with the PE and Authenticode specifications.
(These serve a similar purpose to Microsoft's SignTool.exe, except for Linux.)
Generate a key for use with pesign, stored on disk:
efikeyen -d /etc/pki/pesign -S -TYPE -c 'CN=Your Name Key' -n 'Custom Secureboot'
(where TYPE is m if you're only signing kernel modules, and k otherwise).
For more complex and secure use cases (e.g., hardware tokens), see
efikeygen man page (man efikeygen
).
Sign a UEFI application using that key:
pesign -i grubx64.efi -o grubx64.efi.signed -c 'Custom Secureboot' -s
Show signatures on a UEFI application:
pesign -i grubx64.efi.signed -S
For more signing/verification operations, see the pesign man page (man pesign
).
