Hi Mimi,
Ok. So for trusted boot, if initramfs is changed it will be detected. For
secureboot, atleast right now initramfs is not signed and appraised. But
I guess it could be added.
But initramfs is generated by installer and installer does not have
private keys to sign it. So distributions could not sign initramfs.
Thanks
Vivek
