Glance and Nova contain nearly identical digital
signature modules. In order to better maintain and
evolve this code and to eliminate the possibility that
the modules diverge, we have replaced the digital
signature module in Glance with the new ``cursive``
library.
* The ``cursive`` library is an OpenStack project which
implements OpenStack-specific verification of digital
signatures.
* In Newton, the majority of the signature verification
code was removed from Glance. ``cursive`` has been
added to Glance as a dependency and will be installed
by default.
* Glance uses the ``cursive`` library's functionality to
verify digital signatures. To familiarize yourself
with this new dependency and see the list of
transitive dependencies visit
