Ubuntu's using an MS sig. The difference between Fedora and Ubuntu is
that the latter doesn't require that kernel modules be signed.

The "/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/" is an Ubuntu directory. So the
signed grub EFI executable is in "/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/" and
"/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/". Fedora only ships the grub EFI
executable in "/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/". So, if you run "grub-install"
it's recreated and unsigned (I assume!).

AFAIK, "shim" is signed by MS (and is validated by an MS-supplied and
-signed "thingy" in the firmware) and it embeds the Fedora sig with
which grub, the kernel, and the kernel modules are signed and
validated.
