A boot chain with a signature
A verified boot chain checks a signature at each stage from reset to the operating system, so a replaced loader is detected before it runs. This page files that definition.
The short version
A verified boot chain checks a signature at each stage from reset to the operating system, so a replaced loader is detected before it runs.
What happened
A verified boot chain is a standing subject on the Hardware desk. A verified boot chain checks a signature at each stage from reset to the operating system, so a replaced loader is detected before it runs. The page keeps that sentence so a trend headline does not have to. A reader who arrived from a wire line can use the sources instead of the headline.

The sources for A verified boot chain are listed below and are the place a quote should be verified.Futureweb.
The record
The record for A verified boot chain is NIST SP 800-193 on platform firmware resiliency. A chain that checks nothing after the first-stage ROM will boot a disk an attacker rewrote. Futureweb files the distinction here and leaves the source documents in the box, linked, rather than pasted. A verified boot chain is named again here so the check is hard to miss: A reader asks which keys are fused, and who can revoke one.

Where accounts differ
Accounts of A verified boot chain differ when one source states A verified boot chain checks a signature at each stage from reset to the operating system, so a replaced loader is detected before it runs. and another skips the condition. A chain that checks nothing after the first-stage ROM will boot a disk an attacker rewrote. This page does not average those accounts into a third claim neither document made. A verified boot chain is named again here so the check is hard to miss: A reader asks which keys are fused, and who can revoke one.
What to watch next
What to watch for A verified boot chain is a revision of NIST SP 800-193 on platform firmware resiliency, or a shipping change that makes A chain that checks nothing after the first-stage ROM will boot a disk an attacker rewrote. either more common or impossible. The URL stays. The text changes when the document changes. A verified boot chain is named again here so the check is hard to miss: A reader asks which keys are fused, and who can revoke one.

What would change this page
This page on A verified boot chain would change if NIST SP 800-193 on platform firmware resiliency redefined the term, or if a measurement showed A chain that checks nothing after the first-stage ROM will boot a disk an attacker rewrote. was the wrong failure. Until then the definition above is the one the desk will quote. A verified boot chain is named again here so the check is hard to miss: A reader asks which keys are fused, and who can revoke one.

What is still specific
What stays specific to A verified boot chain is the pair of facts in the opening: A verified boot chain checks a signature at each stage from reset to the operating system, so a replaced loader is detected before it runs. A reader asks which keys are fused, and who can revoke one. Neighboring pages on the Hardware desk answer a different question and should not be merged into this one.
