Secure Boot (ConceptTopic, 5)

<[#ontology [kind topic] [cats Computing Concept]]>

'''Secure Boot''' is a feature of [[UEFI 2]] that requires [[bootloader]]s to be signed with [[public-key cryptography]].

This in itself is a nice thing to have to protect [[computer]]s from being meddled with. However, [[Microsoft]] has decided to abuse this feature to lock out other [[operating systems]] from [[Windows 8]] certified [[motherboard]]s and [[PC]]s. '''This won't do at all!'''
