In fact, false here equates to omitting the file from sysfs and does not affect the value of require_signatures. Making the parameter writable is not simple because going from false->true is fine but it should not be possible to remove the requirement to verify a signature. But it can be useful to inspect the value of this parameter from userspace, so change the permissions to make a read-only file in sysfs.
