It seems that as per the FIPS requirement any software that is installed on the
device should have a signature and the signature should be verified by the
device. Since Boot Loader is used occasionally to download the system files,
I was investigating about the certificate support.

U-Boot is not intended or designed to support any FIPS-approved mode
of operation.

exactly that much more. A balance of power -- the trickiest, most
difficult, dirtiest game of them all. But the only one that preserves
both sides.
