Subject: [PATCH v13 14/20] appended signatures: Using db and dbx lists for signature verification
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:10:08 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930114018.78215-15-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250930114018.78215-1-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com>
Signature verification: verify the kernel against lists of hashes that are
either in dbx or db list. If it is not in the dbx list then the trusted keys
from the db list are used to verify the signature.
