Re: Secure Boot

It is rather peculiar that you attracted a ton of downvotes by pointing people at a useful article showing the long chains of trust inherent in the x86 boot-time security model and references to SMM exploits that undermine it. It would be interesting to know *why* the downvoters chose to make the mark, even if it is something as simple as wanting to bury bad news.

Have an up-vote from me anyway.
