    I just completely cheated by using cryptboot. Then it is as simple as cryptboot-efikeys create, then to enroll them into your eufi, cryptboot-efikeys enroll and finally to sign any efi executable (or any file), cryptboot-efikeys sign $FILE. There are other helper scripts, but I don't use them. Full documentation is on their GitHub: https://github.com/xmikos/cryptboot. Good luck!

    Also, I am pretty sure that you can only have encrypted /boot if you use GRUB. The point of doing so is not really to make sure nobody reads it (there isn't anything interesting on /boot by default), but to make sure that nobody can tamper with it (ignoring the encryption vs authenticated encryption discussion). However, you still have to make sure nobody can tamper with GRUB itself. You might want to check out https://github.com/xmikos/cryptboot if this sounds interesting. Also, there are similar solutions that don't use encrypted /boot, for example booting from signed EFISTUBs, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot#Implementing_Secure_Boot. Also, I don't actually use this kind of setup personally (albeit I'd like to one day), and I am certainly not a security expert, so take this whole paragraph with a big grain of salt, and double check with somebody who actually knows what they are talking about.
