It does not accept any signature. For fsverity, the signature must be signed
by a key in the fsverity_keyring and similarly for dmverity the signature
must be signed by a key in the kernel builtin trusted keys or secondary keyring.
Therefore, the root of trust here is the system configured keyrings.
The Boolean properties dmverity_signature and fsverity_signature are used
to differentiate the existence of signature because the signature is optional.
In a =TRUE case of these two properties, we know the digests are signed
by a key we can trust. And in a =FALSE case we know the file is from a unsigned
dmverity or fsverity, we could use a stricter policy to deny them.
I agree that having the ability to restrict signers is better, but the feedback
from the last version was asking us to keep the initial version as simple
as possible. We definitely want to add more properties, but we will invest
more time in them once the initial version is accepted.
