Comment(by gk):

 I just realized that we don't need to rely solely on PKI here (at least on
 Windows) as Mozilla supports signed .mar files since Gecko12. See:
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update:MAR,
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699700 and
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704285. Would be nice to have
 that capability on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X as well and if it is not done by
 Mozilla to merge that back...
