efisecdb − utility for managing UEFI signature lists
efisecdb [−s SORT] [−i file [−i file] ...] [−g guid 〈−a | −r〉 〈[−t hash-type] −h hash | −c file〉 [−g guid 〈−a | −r〉 〈[−t hash-type] −h hash | −c file〉] ...] 〈−d [−A] | −o file | −L〉 |
efisecdb is a command line utility for management of UEFI signature lists in detached files. That is, it’s for command line generation and management of files in the format of KEK, DB, and DBX.
Operation occurs in three phases:
1. |
Loading of security databases specified with −−input | ||
2. |
Left-to-right processing of other options, using −−hash-type, −−owner-guid, −−add, and −−remove as state to build selectors to add or remove hashes and certificates specified by −−hash and −−certificate. | ||
3. |
Generation of output |
The accumulated state is persistent; once an Owner GUID, Add or Delete operation, or hash type are specified, they need only be present again to change the operations that follow. Operations are added to the list to process when −h hash or −c cert are specified, and are processed in the order they appear. Additionally, at least one −g argument and either −−add or −−remove must appear before the first use of −h hash or −c cert.
〈−s | −−sort〉 〈all | data | none | type〉
Sort by data after sorting and grouping entry types, entry data, no sorting, or by entry type
〈−s | −−sort〉 〈ascending | descending〉
Sort in ascending or descending order
−i file | −−infile file
Read EFI Security Database from file
−g guid | −−owner-guid guid
Use the specified GUID or symbolic refrence (i.e. {empty}) for forthcoming addition and removal operations
−a | −−add | −r | −−remove
Select add or remove for forthcoming operations
−t hash-type | −−hash-type hash-type
Select hash-type for forthcoming addition and removal operations (default sha256)
Use hash-type help to list supported hash types.
−h hash | −−hash hash
Add or remove the specified hash
−c file | −−certificate file
Add or remove the specified certificate
−d | −−dump
Produce a hex dump of the output
−A | −−annotate
Annotate the hex dump produced by −−dump
−o file | −−outfile file
Write EFI Security Database to file
−L | −−list-guids
List the well known guids
The output is tab delimited: GUID short_name desription

efisecdb is currently lacking several useful features:
• |
positional exporting of certificates | ||
• |
−−dump and −−annotate do not adjust the output width for the terminal | ||
• |
certificates can’t be specified for removal by their ToBeSigned hash |
