+If both IMA-appraisal and sig_enforce are enabled, then both signatures
+are currently required. If the IMA-appraisal signature verification
+fails, it could rely on the appended signature verification; but with the
+lockdown patch set, the appended signature verification assumes that if
+IMA-appraisal is enabled, it has verified the signature. Basically each
+signature verification method would be relying on the other to verify the
+kernel module signature.
+
+This patch addresses the problem of requiring both kernel module signature
+verification methods, when both are enabled, by verifying just the
+appended signature.
