Module signing when keys are lost

Hello.

I built the nvidia driver for my custom kernel, but forgot to sign the nvidia and nvidia-uvm kernel module. Since i was building the kernel in tmpfs, the files needed for signing (signing_key.priv and signing_key.x509) are lost after a reboot.

Do i have to rebuild (and maybe re-install) the custom kernel, to re-create the files needed for sign-file or is there any other way?

Regards and thanks.
