secure boot and secure firmware update
Secure Boot is a computer technology that ensures only authorized software is executed during the system startup process. It verifies the digital signature of a device's firmware, operating system, and other software components, preventing the execution of malicious or unauthorized code, thereby enhancing the system's security. Secure Firmware Update involves securely updating the firmware of a device. It employs cryptographic mechanisms to verify the integrity and authenticity of the firmware before updating it. This guarantees that only approved and tamper-free firmware versions are installed on the device, protecting against potential vulnerabilities and unauthorized modifications.
