I'm trying to move us to the use of PKCS#7 certificates as module signatures.
See here:

	http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=modsign-pkcs7

I would suggest you use this as a base.

Also, I would suggest, if you can manage it, either:

 (1) Keep the signature and the firmware blobs separate on disk for copyright
     and/or licensing purposes.

 (2) Put the firmware blob inside the PKCS#7 message as the embedded data.
