UEFI Secure Boot
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Secure Boot is a technology where the system firmware checks that the
|
|
system boot loader is signed with a cryptographic key authorized by a
|
|
configured database of certificate\(s\) contained in the firmware or a
|
|
security device. It is used to secure various boot stages.
|
|
|
|
|prod|'s implementation of Secure Boot also validates the signature of the
|
|
second-stage boot loader, the kernel, and kernel modules.

|
|
|
|
- For each node that is going to use secure boot, you must populate the
|
|
|prod| public certificate \(with public key\) in the |UEFI| Secure Boot
|
|
authorized database in accordance with the board manufacturer's process.
|
|
|
|
- You may need to work with your hardware vendor to have the certificate
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
- This must be done for each node before starting the installation.
