Is it? AFAICT secure boot is something else. "Not even owner can see

Ok. Let's call this "effective resume password".

Actually you don't have to enhance anything. Uswsusp already provides
"effective resume password".
If you only want to ask for password on resume, RSA is needed.

That does not match my understanding of secure boot.
