Verification of disk.raw file and digest file contents using OpenSSL

Contributors netapp-driley

You can verify the Google Cloud downloaded disk.raw file against the digest file contents available through the NSS using OpenSSL.

Note The OpenSSL commands to validate the image are compatible with Linux, Mac OS, and Windows machines.
Steps

  1. Verify the certificate using OpenSSL.

    Click to display the script 
    # Step 1 - Optional, but recommended: Verify the certificate using OpenSSL

# Step 1.1 - Copy the Certificate and certificate chain to a directory
$ openssl version
LibreSSL 3.3.6
$ ls -l
total 48
-rw-r--r--@ 1 example-user  engr  8537 Jan 19 15:42 Certificate-Chain-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem
-rw-r--r--@ 1 example-user  engr  2365 Jan 19 15:42 Certificate-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem

# Step 1.2 - Get the OSCP URL
$ oscp_url=$(openssl x509 -noout -ocsp_uri -in <Certificate-Chain.pem>)
$ oscp_url=$(openssl x509 -noout -ocsp_uri -in Certificate-Chain-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem)
$ echo $oscp_url
http://ocsp.entrust.net

# Step 1.3 - Generate an OCSP request for the certificate
$ openssl ocsp -issuer <Certificate-Chain.pem> -CAfile <Certificate-Chain.pem> -cert <Certificate.pem> -reqout <request.der>
$ openssl ocsp -issuer Certificate-Chain-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem -CAfile Certificate-Chain-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem -cert Certificate-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem -reqout req.der

# Step 1.4 - Optional: Check the new file "req.der" has been generated
$ ls -l
total 56
-rw-r--r--@ 1 example-user  engr  8537 Jan 19 15:42 Certificate-Chain-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem
-rw-r--r--@ 1 example-user  engr  2365 Jan 19 15:42 Certificate-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem
-rw-r--r--  1 example-user  engr   120 Jan 19 16:50 req.der

# Step 1.5 - Connect to the OCSP Manager using openssl to send the OCSP request
$ openssl ocsp -issuer <Certificate-Chain.pem> -CAfile <Certificate-Chain.pem> -cert <Certificate.pem> -url ${ocsp_url} -resp_text -respout <response.der>
$ openssl ocsp -issuer Certificate-Chain-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem -CAfile Certificate-Chain-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem -cert Certificate-GCP-CVO-20230119-0XXXXX.pem  -url ${ocsp_url} -resp_text -respout resp.der

  2. Place the downloaded disk.raw file, the signature, and certificates in a directory.

  3. Extract the public key from the certificate using OpenSSL.

  4. Decrypt the signature using the extracted public key and verify the contents of the downloaded disk.raw file.
