+Verify image with the provided certificate chain(s) and identity parameters (intended for
+"bring your own PKI" use cases).
+* with a single certificate chain file - which may contain one or several intermediate
+certificates followed by the root CA certificate - use the `--certificate-chain` parameter:
 ```shell
 $ cosign verify --certificate-chain chain.crt --certificate-oidc-issuer https://issuer.example.com --certificate-identity foo@example.com user/demo
 ```
+* with a certificate bundle PEM file containing several CA roots and (optionally)
+intermediate certificates, use the `--ca-roots` parameter together with `--ca-intermediates`:
+```shell
+$ cosign verify --ca-roots ca-roots.pem --ca-intermediates ca-intermediates \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://issuer.example.com \
+  --certificate-identity foo@example.com user/demo
+```
+
+The `--ca-roots` and `--ca-intermediates` flags are mutually exclusive with `--certificate-chain`.
