Thanks for the update.

To me it seems like this link only provides signed grub. Or was it meant
that

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkukri/dev-ppc64el
sudo apt update

would provide both signed grub and kernel images.

And as you shared here -
https://bugzilla.linux.ibm.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205841#c12, that grub and
kernel signing keys are different. So, we would need kernel signing key
as well. I think what you provided is for the grub.

Thanks & Regards,
- Nayna

Title:
  Power guest secure boot with key management: kernel portion

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Covering the kernel portion

  Feature:

  This feature comprises PowerVM LPAR guest OS kernel verification using
  static keys to extend the chain of trust from partition firmware to
  the OS kernel.  GRUB and the host OS kernel are signed with 2 separate
  public key pairs.  Partition firmware includes the the public
  verification key for GRUB in its build and uses it to verify GRUB.
  GRUB includes the public verification key for the OS kernel in its
  build and uses it to verify the OS kernel image

  Test case:

  If secure boot is switched off, any GRUB and kernel boots.
  If secure boot is switched on:
    - Properly signed GRUB boots.
    - Improperly signed GRUB does not boot.
    - Tampered signed GRUB does not boot.
    - Properly signed kernels boot.
    - Improperly signed kernels do not boot.
    - Tampered signed kernels do not boot.
  TPM PCRs are extended roughly following the TCG PC Client and UEFI specs as 
they apply to POWER.
