Subject: [PATCH v13 16/20] appended signatures: GRUB commands to manage the hashes
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:10:10 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930114018.78215-17-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250930114018.78215-1-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com>
Introducing the following GRUB commands to manage certificate/binary
hashes.
1. append_list_dbx:
Show the list of distrusted certificates and binary/certificate
hashes from the dbx list.
2. append_add_db_hash:
Add the trusted binary hash to the db list.
3. append_add_dbx_hash:
Add the distrusted certificate/binary hash to the dbx list.
Note that if signature verification (check_appended_signatures) is set to yes,
the append_add_db_hash and append_add_dbx_hash commands only accept the file
‘hash_file’ that is signed with an appended signature.
