+ Enables support for FIT Signature Verification.
+
+ Flat Image Trees (FIT) supports hashing of images so that
+ these hashes can be checked on loading. This protects
+ against corruption of the image. However it does not prevent
+ the substitution of one image for another.
+
+ The signature feature allows the hash to be signed with a
+ private key such that it can be verified using a public key
+ later. Provided that the private key is kept secret and the
+ public key is stored in a non-volatile place, any image can
+ be verified in this way.
