That is also kind of solution, but:
- it should work only for RedHat - not for all OSes (how would you determine the OS from UEFI?)
- it should work under BIOS machines and UEFI machines - not only UEFI machines
UEFI and BIOS are completely different. And neither care, per se, or should care what OS is running atop them. Somehow, I suspect that you have not spend anytime working at the firmware level if you are asking these questions.

PESIGN-CLIENT(1) General Commands Manual PESIGN-CLIENT(1)
NAME
pesign-client - command line tool for signing UEFI applications
SYNOPSIS
pesign [--in=infile | -i infile]
[--out=outfile | -o outfile]
[--export=exportfile | -e exportfile]
[--token=token | -t token]
[--certificate=nickname | -c nickname]
[--unlock | -u] [--kill | -k] [--sign | -s]
[--pinfd=pinfd | -f pinfd]
[--pinfile=pinfile | -F pinfile]
DESCRIPTION
pesign is a command line tool for manipulating signatures and cryptographic digests of UEFI applications.
OPTIONS
--unlock
Unlock the specified token. A PIN - specified by one of --pinfd, --pinfile, or the environmental variable PESIGN_TOKEN_PIN - is
required for this operation to succeed. The PIN may be empty, if that is what is required for the token specified with --token.
--pinfd=pinfd
When using --unlock, read the token's PIN from the open file descriptor pinfd.
--pinfile=pinfile
When using --unlock, read the token's PIN from the file pinfile.
--sign
Sign the binary specified by infile.
--detached
When used with --sign, write the signature to outfile.
--in=infile
When used with --sign, specify the input binary.
--out=outfile
When used with --sign, specify output file. If --detached is specified, this will be a DER-formatted signature. Otherwise, the
output will be the signed PE binary.
--token=token
When used with --unlock or --sign, use the specified NSS token's certificate database.
--certificate=nickname
When used with --sign, use the certificate database entry with the specified nickname for signing.
--kill
Terminate the signing server.
