Signed configuration profile is being installed on iPhone
During installation on iOS/macOS, digitally signed Apple configuration profile is shown with a green tick and corresponding note providing trust for the user. It is possible to use this command in Terminal to sign a .mobileconfig profile. However, it is easier to use a script which will request certificate file, private key and trust chain certificate in dialog.
First, create a new Automator Service named Sign MobileConfig.workflow in user folder
~/Library/Services
Then drag Run AppleScript element into Automator window, and fill it with the following code:

property preferences_file : "com.pozhvanov.mcfgsigner.plist"
(*       property preferences_path : "~/Library/Preferences/"       *)
to SelectSignerPEM(title_SignerPEM, folder_location_SignerPEM)
       set SignerPEM to choose file with prompt title_SignerPEM default location folder_location_SignerPEM of type {"public.x509-certificate", "public.text"}
       return SignerPEM as alias
end SelectSignerPEM
to SelectKeyPEM(title_KeyPEM, folder_location_KeyPEM)
       set KeyPEM to choose file with prompt title_KeyPEM default location folder_location_KeyPEM of type {"public.item", "com.apple.keynote.key", "public.x509-certificate", "public.text"}
       return KeyPEM as alias
end SelectKeyPEM
to SelectChainPEM(title_ChainPEM, folder_location_ChainPEM)
       set ChainPEM to choose file with prompt title_ChainPEM default location folder_location_ChainPEM of type {"public.x509-certificate", "public.text"}
       return ChainPEM as alias
end SelectChainPEM

       set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
       set the item_list to every text item of this_text
       set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
       set this_text to the item_list as string
       set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
       return this_text
