[ddp] elfsign : ELF binary signing and verification utilities

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package elfsign, which is
part of the devel section, and maintained by Andrew Pollock
<apollock at debian.org>. 

This package contains : ELF binary signing and verification utilities.

This package provides a utility to add a digital signature to an ELF
binary, and another utility to verify that signature. The current
implementation uses PKI to sign the checksum of the binary. The benefits
of doing this are that it enables one to determine if a binary has
been modified, and who created that binary. This software is similar in
concept and goals to bsign, except that where bsign uses GPG, elfsign uses
PKI (X.509) certificates (OpenSSL)
