UEFI Secure Boot

I will not give detailed instructions here. See details at here.
You will need linux. However for simplicity I will use CloudShell.

You now have the necessary files. Let's continue here.
Note:

• Keep ISK.key and ISK.pem so that each OpenCore upgrade you will only need to sign the necessary files and replace them in the EFI/OC directory. You won't need to repeat the key generation and key adding steps.
• To booting KeyTool.efi. Let's rename KeyTool.efi to BOOTx64.efi and put it in USB/EFI/BOOT
