Well, at least the fedora shim builds are not signed with anything,
and grub doesn't look much better:

    $ pesigcheck -v -i grubaa64.efi 
    [ ... ]
    Signature has impossible time constraint: 1639158862 <= 1373397163
    Peer's Certificate has expired.
    [ ... ]

                             ^^^^

I think we can take that as clear indication that nobody ever tested
secure boot with fedora on aarch64 ;)

take care,
  Gerd
