Based on my understanding, we don't enable the signing by adding 
'fit,sign' property but by having a signature node in the DTS passed to 
binman and thus also in the ITS passed to mkimage by binman (at least 
with the current implementation). In the current implementation, adding 
'fit,sign property' in the DTS passed to binman only leads to add the 
argument '-k' with a directory where the private keys are stored and 
nothing more. The '-k' argument of mkimage is used to specify the keys 
directory for both signing and ciphering FIT data. That is why I thought 
the property could be shared for providing the keys directory for both 
signing and ciphering when generating the FIT.
Then maybe your idea would be to use such a property, i.e. 'fit,sign' 
property, to be able to add more options related to the signature 
(key-name-hint, algo...) instead of having those information in the ITS 
in a signature node. In this case, I guess it would indeed make sense to 
have separate properties that could both set the '-k' argument passed to 
mkimage.
The current signal for the encryption is to have a 'cipher' node in the 
ITS provided to mkimage.
