NAME

dotnet-nuget-verify - Verifies a signed NuGet package.

SYNOPSIS

dotnet nuget verify [<package-path(s)>]


    [--all]


    [--certificate-fingerprint <FINGERPRINT>]


    [-v|--verbosity <LEVEL>]


    [--configfile <FILE>]
dotnet nuget verify -h|--help

DESCRIPTION

The dotnet nuget verify command verifies a signed NuGet package.

This command requires a certificate root store that is valid for both code signing and timestamping. See NuGet signed package verification for details.

ARGUMENTS

•
package-path(s)

Specifies the file path to the package(s) to be verified. Multiple position arguments can be passed in to verify multiple packages.

OPTIONS

•
--all

Specifies that all verifications possible should be performed on the package(s). By default, only signatures are verified.

This command currently supports only signature verification.

•
--certificate-fingerprint <FINGERPRINT>

Verify that the signer certificate matches with one of the specified SHA256 fingerprints. This option can be supplied multiple times to provide multiple fingerprints.

•
-v|--verbosity <LEVEL>

Sets the verbosity level of the command. Allowed values are q[uiet], m[inimal], n[ormal], d[etailed], and diag[nostic]. The default is minimal. For more information, see <xref:Microsoft.Build.Framework.LoggerVerbosity>.

The following table shows what is displayed for each verbosity level.

EXAMPLES

•
Verify foo.nupkg:
dotnet nuget verify foo.nupkg
•
Verify multiple NuGet packages - foo.nupkg and all .nupkg files in the directory specified:
dotnet nuget verify foo.nupkg c:\mydir\*.nupkg
•
Verify foo.nupkg signature matches with the specified certificate fingerprint:
dotnet nuget verify foo.nupkg --certificate-fingerprint CE40881FF5F0AD3E58965DA20A9F571EF1651A56933748E1BF1C99E537C4E039
•
Verify foo.nupkg signature matches with one of the specified certificate fingerprints:
dotnet nuget verify foo.nupkg --certificate-fingerprint CE40881FF5F0AD3E58965DA20A9F571EF1651A56933748E1BF1C99E537C4E039 --certificate-fingerprint EC10992GG5F0AD3E58965DA20A9F571EF1651A56933748E1BF1C99E537C4E027
•
Verify the signature of foo.nupkg by using settings (packagesources and trustedSigners) only from the specified nuget.config file:
dotnet nuget verify foo.nupkg --configfile ..\Settings\nuget.config
