The AuditVerify tool is used to verify that signed audit logs were signed with the private signing key and that the audit logs have not been compromised.

Auditors can verify the authenticity of signed audit logs using the AuditVerify tool. This tool uses the public key of the signed audit log signing certificate to verify the digital signatures embedded in a signed audit log file. The tool response indicates either that the signed audit log was successfully verified or that the signed audit log was not successfully verified. An unsuccessful verification warns the auditor that the signature failed to verify, indicating the log file may have been tampered with (compromised).
