+type: docs
+description: >
+    Verify that container image is signed when creating a container from it in Kanto Container Management.
+weight: 5
+---
+
+By following the steps below, you will sign a container image and push it to a local registry using a{{% refn "https://github.com/notaryproject/notation" %}}`notation`{{% /refn %}}. Then a notation trust policy and the Kanto Container Management service will be configured in a way that running containers from the signed image via kanto-cm CLI will be successful, while running containers from unsigned images will fail.
+
+### Before you begin
+
+To ensure that your edge device is capable to execute the steps in this guide, you need:
+
+* If you don't have an installed and running Eclipse Kanto, follow {{% relrefn "install" %}} Install Eclipse Kanto {{% /relrefn %}}
+* Installed {{% refn "https://notaryproject.dev/docs/user-guides/installation/cli/" %}} Notation CLI {{% /refn %}}
+* Installed and running {{% refn "https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/" %}} Docker {{% /refn %}}
+
+### Create an image and push it to a local registry using docker and than sign it with notation
+
+Create and run a local container registry:
+```shell
+sudo kanto-cm create --ports 5000:5000 --e REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE_ENABLED=true --name registry docker.io/library/registry:latest
+sudo kanto-cm start -n registry
+```
+
+Build a dummy hello world image and push it to the registry:
+```shell
+cat <<EOF | sudo docker build -t localhost:5000/dummy-hello:signed -
+FROM busybox:latest
+CMD [ "echo", "Hello World" ]
+EOF
+sudo docker push localhost:5000/dummy-hello:signed
+```
+
+{{% tip %}}
+When signing and verifying container images it is recommended to use the image digest instead of a tag as the digest is immutable.
+{{% /tip %}}
+Get the image digest and assign it to an environment variable to be used the next steps of the guide:
+```shell
+export IMAGE=$(sudo docker inspect --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' localhost:5000/dummy-hello:signed)
+echo $IMAGE
+```
+
+Generate a key-pair with notation and add it as the default signing key:
+```shell
+notation cert generate-test --default "kanto"
+```
+
+Sign the image and store the signature in the registry:
+```shell
+notation sign $IMAGE
+```
+
+### Configure notation truspolicy and container management verifier
+
+Get the notation config directory and assign it to an environment variable to be used in the next steps of the guide:
+```shell
+export NOTATION_CONFIG=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/notation
+echo $NOTATION_CONFIG
+``` 
+
+Create a simple {{% refn "https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/blob/main/specs/trust-store-trust-policy.md#trust-policy" %}} notation trustpolicy {{% /refn %}} as a `trustpolicy.json` file in the notation config directory: 
+```shell
+cat <<EOF | tee $NOTATION_CONFIG/trustpolicy.json
+{
+  "version": "1.0",
+  "trustPolicies": [
+    {
+      "name": "kanto-images",
+      "registryScopes": [ "*" ],
+      "signatureVerification": {
+        "level" : "strict"
+      },
+      "trustStores": [ "ca:kanto" ],
+      "trustedIdentities": [ "*" ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+Create a backup of the initial Kanto Container Management configuration that is found in `/etc/container-management/config.json`(the backup will be restored at the end of the guide):
+```shell
+sudo cp /etc/container-management/config.json /etc/container-management/config-backup.json
+```
+
+Configure the use of notation verifier, set its config directory, mark the local registry as an insecure one, and set the image expiry time to zero seconds, so the local cache of the images used in the how-to will be deleted upon container removal:
+```shell
+cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/container-management/config.json
+{
+  "log": {
+    "log_file": "/var/log/container-management/container-management.log"
+  },
+  "containers": {
+    "image_verifier_type": "notation",
+    "image_verifier_config": {
+      "configDir": "$NOTATION_CONFIG"
+    },
+    "insecure_registries": [ "localhost:5000" ],
+    "image_expiry": "0s"
+  }
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+Restart the Container Management service for the changes to take effect:
+```shell
+sudo systemctl restart container-management.service
+```
+
+### Verify
+
+Create and run a container from the signed image. The container prints `Hello world` to the console:
+```shell
+sudo kanto-cm create --name dummy-hello --rp no --t $IMAGE
+sudo kanto-cm start --name dummy-hello --a
+```
+
+
+Make sure that a docker hub hello-world image is not cached locally, by removing any containers with this image, and verify that creating containers from it fails, as the image is not signed, and the signature verification fails:
+```shell
+sudo kanto-cm remove -f $(sudo kanto-cm list --quiet --filter image=docker.io/library/hello-world:latest)
+sudo kanto-cm create --name dockerhub-hello --rp no --t docker.io/library/hello-world:latest
+```
+
+### Clean up
+
+Remove the created containers from the Kanto Container Management:
+```shell
+sudo kanto-cm remove -n dummy-hello
+sudo kanto-cm remove -n registry -f
+```
+
+Restore the initial Kanto Container Management configuration and restart the service:
+```shell
+sudo mv -f /etc/container-management/config-backup.json /etc/container-management/config.json
+sudo systemctl restart container-management.service
+```
+
+Remove the localy cached images from Docker:
+```shell
+sudo docker image rm localhost:5000/dummy-hello:signed registry:latest
+```
+
+Reset the notation configuration by removing the directory:
+```shell
+rm -r $NOTATION_CONFIG
+```
+
+Unset exported environment variables:
+```shell
+unset IMAGE NOTATION_CONFIG
