How to Manually Verify the elfsign Signature

Verified boot is an automatic mechanism that provides a quick and efficient way to ensure the integrity of the boot process. However, you can still verify a kernel module's signature manually.

  • Use the elfsign command syntax as follows:
    $ elfsign verify -v kernel_module

    For example:

    $ elfsign verify -v /kernel/misc/sparcv9/cardbus
    elfsign: verification of /kernel/misc/sparcv9/cardbus passed.
    format: rsa_sha1.
    signer: O=Oracle Corporation, OU=Corporate Object Signing, \
                   OU=Solaris Signed Execution, CN=Solaris 11
