If this is true the i am clearly doing the wrong thing. The CA hierarchy
should
run top-bottom, not the other way around.
IMA MOK was introduced mainly because .system keyring was static at the time.
Assuming i have my root certificate in .system how can i add more keys to this
keyring? The new keys have been signed by my root CA? Is this possible since
your October patch-set or i've been missing something this whole time?
