I am using terminology used previously by others when addressing this issue.
If I should be using different terminology, please advise. The kernel does not
trust pre-boot keys within it, meaning these pre-boot keys can not be used to
validate items within the kernel. This is the “trust boundary”. Preboot keys are
on one side of the boundary, compiled-in keys are on the other. MOK keys are
pre-boot keys. Currently they can not be used to validate things within the
kernel itself (kernel modules, IMA keys, etc).
