The implementation will use any keys used in db, and the Suse approach lets us extend this to a separate key database with a consistent and non-arcane management UI. This is a far cry from being "cryptographically locked with a pre-enrolled certificate chain" - it's cryptographically locked with whatever set of keys you want to use.
