In "Uninformed Research -- informative information for the uninformed." 2003 mentions a tool called elfsign and elfverify. This is a tool to checksum and sign an ELF binary.



I can't find that tool in Debian. Does it still exist and is it maintained?

          That tool seems to be written by the same author of the paper skape (mmiller@hick.org). It's withheld from Debian for licensing reasons -- currently being under "The Clarified Artistic License".



          The code can be found on his site,
