Hi All,

In the file "build/target/product/security/README", it is mentioned as
following:

*****
signing using the openssl commandline (for boot/system images)
--------------------------------------------------------------

1. convert pk8 format key to pem format
   % openssl pkcs8 -inform DER -nocrypt -in testkey.pk8 -out
testkey.pem

2. create a signature using the pem format key
   % openssl dgst -binary -sha1 -sign testkey.pem FILE > FILE.sig
*********

1. Can this procedure be used to sign bootloader/kernel i.e Can I
provide boot.img/system.img as the input files for step 2?

2. If answer to previous question is yes, is there additional
procedure to take care for building bootloader/kernel?

3. Is there any detailed documentation on this?


PS: This is posted in android-security-discuss group as well; Posting
this query in android-kernel group for better visibility.
