QID 45464: UEFI secure boot State Detected

The UEFI Secure Boot (SB) is a verification mechanism for ensuring that code launched by a computer's UEFI firmware is trusted. It is designed to protect a system against malicious code being loaded and executed early in the boot process, before the operating system has been loaded. MOK - Machine Owner Key A key part of the shim design is to allow users to control their own systems. The distro CA key is built in to the shim binary itself, but there is also an extra database of keys that can be managed by the user, the so-called Machine Owner Key (MOK for short).

QID Detection Logic:(Unauthenticated)
This QID sends the command mokutil --sb-state to check UEFI boot is enabled or not.
