As I understand it for secure update to work the extension will need the 
following entry in the install.rdf file
<em:updateKey> = This is the public key, it's used to verify the 
update.rdf signature
 

 The update.rdf will need
 <em:updateHash>  = Fingerprint of the xpi file
 <em:signature>      = This is signed hash of the install.rdf file,  
this must be created using the private key
