+verify_build
+============
+
+Installs necessary public key and related files to verify the resulting OCI container image. This
+will allow us to transition from using `ostree-unverified-registry` to `ostree-image-signed`
+knowing that the image has been signed with the prescribed key.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Uses the following modules:
+
+  * [ansible.builtin.file](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/file_module.html)
+  * [ansible.builtin.copy](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/copy_module.html)
+
+Role Variables
+--------------
+
+None
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+This role requires creation of a [Sigstore Cosign key](https://docs.sigstore.dev/key_management/signing_with_self-managed_keys/).
+
+Example Adhoc Run
+-----------------
+
+`ansible-playbook -i hosts -l this_host -K roles/verify_build/playbook.yml`
+
+Example Playbook
+----------------
+
+    - hosts: all
+      roles:
+         - { role: verify_build }
+
+License
+-------
+
+BSD
