Steffen Eiden 3ab06d77fb pvattest: Create, perform, and verify attestation measurements
pvattest is a tool to attest an IBM Secure Execution guest.

In a trusted environment, one can create a request using
`pvattest create`. To get a measurement of an untrusted
IBM Secure Execution guest call 'pvattest perform'.
Again in a trusted environment, call 'pvattest verify'
to verify that the measurement is the expected one.

The tool runs on s390 and x86.
It has the same requirements like libpv and therefore
requires openssl v1.1.1+, glib2.56+, and libcurl.
Additionally, to measure, the linux kernel must provide
the Ultravisor userspace interface `uvdevice` at /dev/uv
and must be executed  on an IBM Secure Execution guest on
hardware with Ultravisor attestation support, like IBM z16 or later.

.SH NAME
\fBpvattest [OPTION?] verify [OPTIONS] \fP- verify an attestation measurement
\fB
.SH DESCRIPTION
Verify that a previously generated attestation measurement of an IBM Secure Execution guest is as expected. Only verify attestation requests in a trusted environment, such as your workstation. Input must contain the response as produced by 'pvattest perform'. The protection key must be the one that was used to create the request by 'pvattest create'. Please delete it after verification. The header must be the IBM Secure Execution header of the image that was attested during 'pvattest perform'

.SH EXAMPLE
To verify a measurement in 'measurement.bin' with the protection key 'arp.kep' and SE-guest header 'se_guest.hdr'.
.PP
.nf

If the verification was successful the program exists with zero.
If the verification failed it exists with 2 and prints the following to stderr:
