True, but that kind of also requires some way of distributing the bootable binaries, e.g. via netboot image via a TFTP server.

I usually store these keys on a LUKS encrypted flash drive. Not the best opsec, but at least good enough to prevent this kind of malware from spreading around. Can't update the kernel without the flash drive though :D

Why would it not be the best opsec?

I replied to your other comment suggesting encrypting your local signing keys. I am not sure if I would use a flash drive though, why not just using the local disk?


If you have malware running on your system, couldn't it inject its bootkit code into whatever you're about to sign?
