gpgv

Verify OpenPGP signatures. Note: gpgv reads trusted pubkeys from ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.kbx in absence of the --keyring option. See also: gpg. More information: https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/gpgv.html.

  • Verify a clearsigned or inline-signed file (the signature is embedded in the file itself):

gpgv {{path/to/file.asc}}

  • Verify a detached signature (.asc or .sig) against its corresponding data file:

gpgv {{path/to/signature.asc}} {{path/to/data_file}}

  • Verify a detached signature using a specific public keyring or exported public key file (.gpg or .kbx):

gpgv --keyring {{path/to/pubkey_or_keyring.gpg}} {{path/to/signature.asc}} {{path/to/data_file}}

  • Verify a detached signature using a specific public key file in plain text format (.txt):

gpg --dearmor {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/pubkey.gpg}} {{path/to/pubkey.txt}} && gpgv --keyring {{path/to/pubkey.gpg}} {{path/to/signature.asc}} {{path/to/data_file}}
