+### Verity
+
+To generate sysext protected by dm-verity with a signed root hash pass `FORMAT=verity` before invoking any of the scripts. This requires `systemd-repart` with a version >= v255. This also requires passing a path to a private key and certificate through `KEY` and `CERT`.
+
+Here's an example:
+```
+openssl req -batch -new -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -out root_key.crt -keyout root_key.pem -days 3650
+FORMAT=verity KEY=root_key.pem CERT=root_key.crt ./create_kubernetes_sysext.sh v1.27.3 k8s
