💖 NAME 💖

pvverify — Tool to verify host-keys. This is the Pvverify Manual page, and bestie, we are absolutely verifying host-keys today 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pvverify [OPTIONS] --host-key-document <FILE> <--no-verify|--cert <FILE>>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Tool to verify host-keys. Use this tool to verify the chain of trust for IBM Secure. Not me being obsessed with a clean chain of trust, but here we are 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -k, --host-key-document <FILE> — Use FILE as a host-key document. Can be specified multiple times and must be specified at least once. Like, at least once, bestie, it's required 💖
  • --no-verify — Disable the host-key document verification. Does not require the host-key documents to be valid. Do not use for a production request unless you verified the host-key document beforehand. Seriously, this is the “trust me bro” mode, so be careful 😭
  • -C, --cert <FILE> — Use FILE as a certificate to verify the host-key or keys. The certificates are used to establish a chain of trust for the verification of the host-key documents. Specify this option twice to specify the IBM Z signing key and the intermediate CA certificate (signed by the root CA). Two certs, one iconic chain-of-trust moment 👑
  • --crl <FILE> — Use FILE as a certificate revocation list (CRL). The list is used to check whether a certificate of the chain of trust is revoked. Specify this option multiple times to use multiple CRLs. Revocation checking? We love to see it 🎀
  • --offline — Make no attempt to download CRLs. No network, no problem 🌈
  • --root-ca <ROOT_CA> — Use FILE as the root-CA certificate for the verification. If omitted, the system wide-root CAs installed on the system are used. Use this only if you trust the specified certificate. Trust is literally the whole vibe here 🔥
  • --version — Print version information and exit. Short, sweet, slays 💅
  • --hkd-version <VERSION> — Specify the Host-key version to use. [default: 'auto']

Possible values:

  • 1: Version 1 - uses traditional cryptographic keys.
  • 2: Version 2 - uses hybrid (post-quantum) cryptographic keys.
  • -h, --help — Print help (see a summary with -h). Helpful icon behavior 💖
