rpm signing and verfiy with self signed certificate

[Lubos Kardos]

Hi,

I am not sure if I understand your question, but rpm uses gpg keys for signing,
you can use the command rpmsign to sign rpm packages. You can verify if rpm
package is signed by the command "rpmkeys --checksig" or "rpmkeys -K".
Verification is performed against keys that are stored in rpm database or
against keys located in directory defined by %{_keyringpath} if %{_keyringpath}
is defined. If the key is unknown for rpm, a error is displayed. A key with
which a package is signed must be directly known for rpm (must be in rpm
database or in %{_keyringpath} directory), it is not enough if that key is
signed with some key known for rpm (no chain of trust). You can import key into
rpm database by the command "rpmkeys --import".

I am not sure if this answers your question, If no, please could you explain
in a little more detail what your are trying to do?

Lubos
