DESCRIPTION

       pesign is a command line tool for manipulating signatures and cryptographic digests of UEFI applications.

OPTIONS

       --in=infile
	      Specify input binary.

       --out=outfile
	      Specify output binary.

       --token=token
	      Use the specified NSS token's certificate database.

       --certificate=nickname
	      Use the certificate database entry with the specified nickname for signing.

       --force
	      Overwrite output files. Without this parameter, pesign will refuse to overrite any output files which already exist.

       --sign Sign the input binary with the key specified by --certificate.

       --hash Display the cryptographic digest of the input binary on standard output.

       --digest_type=digest
	      Use  the	specified  digest  in hashing and signing operations. By default, this value is "sha256".  Use "--digest=help" to list the
	      available digests.

       --show-signature
	      Show information about the signature of the input binary.

       --remove-signature
	      Remove the signature section from the binary.

       --export-pubkey=outkey
	      Export the public key specified by --certificate to outkey

       --export-cert=outcert
	      Export the certificate specified by --certificate to outcert

       --ascii
	      Use ascii armoring on exported certificates.

       --daemonize
	      Spawn a daemon for use with pesign-client(1)

       --nofork
	      Do not fork when using --daemonize.
