Subject: [PATCH v13 12/20] appended signatures: Introducing key management environment variable
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:10:06 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930114018.78215-13-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250930114018.78215-1-sudhakar@linux.ibm.com>

Introducing the appended signature key management environment variable. It is
automatically set to either "static" or "dynamic" based on the Platform KeyStore.

"static": Enforce static key management signature verification. This is the
          default. When the GRUB is locked down, user cannot change the value
          by setting the appendedsig_key_mgmt variable back to "dynamic".

"dynamic": Enforce dynamic key management signature verification. When the GRUB
           is locked down, user cannot change the value by setting the
           appendedsig_key_mgmt variable back to "static".
