# verify

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note**:

* The command verifies the provided attestation report against the specified workload using the vHSM server.
* The `@report.json` syntax means the file is read and its contents are used for verification.
* Use the -format flag to specify the output format (e.g., json, yaml, table, pretty).
  {% endhint %}

## Usage

```
vhsm nitride attestation verify <workload> report=@<report_file> [flags]
```

* `<workload>`: The UUID of the workload attestation to verify against.
* `report=@<report_file>`: Path to the attestation report file to verify (the file must exist).

#### Flags

* [Global HTTP Options](/nitride/cli.md#global-options)
* [Output Options](/nitride/cli.md#output-options)
* [Command Options](/nitride/cli.md#command-options)

#### Example

Verify an attestation report for a workload:

```
vhsm nitride attestation verify 39547c1c-2139-402d-a532-2a352c55106c report=@report.base64
```

**Output is similar to :**

```

#### Additional Example

Verify an attestation report for a workload and display the result in JSON format:

```
vhsm nitride attestation verify 39547c1c-2139-402d-a532-2a352c55106c report=@report.json -format=json
```
