The Change page doesn't explain the details of what's done, but my
understanding is that the private key corresponding to the enrolled
MOK cert will being stored on the system indefinitely. This allows
any privileged process to sign any future kmods, from any source.
The user might approve this thinking it is just for the nvidia
modules, but it allows for anything.

With regards,
