keyVerify

This program is used to read security objects in various formats and verify the Signature against the Issuing Authority's Certificate. These files must be available in a standard location or one indicated by use of the `-I' option.

This program looks first for a Revocation Certificate before checking the signature. If it finds one, it then tries to validate this Revocation Certificate; if it is valid, then the requested Certificate is NOT. However, if the Revocation Certificate is not valid, then we ignore this and go back to checking the signature on the Certificate.

If the Issuer Certficate file cannot be located, then the requested Certificate is considered invalid. Otherwise, the Issuer Certficate is used to verify the signature on the requested Certificate.

If the Issuer Certficate is not a Top-Level CA but is signed by a higher Certificate, then this procedure recurses, validating the signing Certificate, until a Top-Level CA is reached. All Certificates in the Chain must be valid for this program to return a successful status for the requested Certificate.
