Overview of UEFI Secure Boot
|
||
|
|
============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Secure Boot is an optional capability of |UEFI| firmware.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Secure Boot is a technology where the system firmware checks that the system
|
||
|
|
boot loader is signed with a cryptographic key authorized by a database
|
||
|
|
contained in the firmware or a security device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|prod|'s implementation of Secure Boot also validates the signature of the
|
||
|
|
second-stage boot loader, the kernel, and kernel modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|prod|'s public key, for programming in the hardware's Secure Boot database,
|
||
|
|
can be found in the |prod| ISO.
