I have recently installed Fedora 20 on a custom desktop PC with a ASUS Z87-K motherboard. Given some commonly known bugs, I have installed the NVIDIA proprietary driver for my GeForce 630, and disabled the nouveau driver.

After completing correctly the driver installation, during which the that module was signed with a new generated key pair, a x.509 certificate was created and automatically placed in

/usr/share/nvidia/certificate.der.

However, from that moment, the computer is unable to boot with the UEFI secure boot option. When switching to textmode and running nvidia-modprobe, I find that the NVIDIA module was not loaded.

When I disable Secure Boot in the UEFI menu, the computer boots and runs smoothly with the installed driver.

To avoid the drawback of booting in an unsecure mode, I would like to know where to place the x.509 certificate of the NVIDIA module in order for it to be recognized by the kernel so I don't have to turn off Secure Boot.
