Description

Right now, extensions are not signed, and use verify=no.

They should be signed with the same key as the OS partitions

Research direction

Start by locating the extension release configuration and the current verify=no setting in the OS build system. Then trace how OS partitions are signed and determine how that signing key is used. Done means extension releases are signed with the same key and no longer require verification to be disabled.
