making an unencrypted image tamper safe by signing it, is just unnecessary work frpm the POV of security as it stays insecure: a) an attacker can read the content and gain informations b) he can change the data on disk and just wait for a reboot. Signing the image for the pure integrity of the data structures to be (technically) "safe" to load is a whole different story and a gerneral good idea. But don't mix "safe" with "secure", it's not secure.
