.SH NAME
cert-to-efi-sig-list - tool for converting openssl certificates to EFI signature lists
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cert-to-efi-sig-list
[\fI\,-g <guid>\/\fR] \fI\,<crt file> <efi sig list file>\/\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Take an input X509 certificate (in PEM format) and convert it to an EFI
signature list file containing only that single certificate
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-g\fR <guid>
Use <guid> as the owner of the signature. If this is not
supplied, an all zero guid will be used
.SH EXAMPLES

To take a standard X509 certificate in PEM format and
produce an output EFI signature list file, simply do

cert-to-efi-sig-list PK.crt PK.esl

Note that the format of EFI signature list files is such
that they can simply be concatenated to produce a file with
multiple signatures:

cat PK1.esl PK2.esl > PK.esl

If your platform has a setup mode key manipulation ability,
the keys will often only be displayed by GUID, so using the
-g option to give your keys recognisable GUIDs will be
useful if you plan to manage lots of keys.
