maker-described firmware provenance feature
The project owner says the firmware is signed and each badge has its own key pair. No public material identifies the signature/key algorithm, trust anchor, key generation/storage/backup/rotation/revocation model, hardware security boundary, verification path, source, binary, build provenance, update procedure, or external review.
