That information could be how to install your own key (to run your
own modified software "securely") or how to disable secure boot (to run your own
modified software without the secure boot check).
If that were
possible for all devices designed to run Windows, the main problem that moving
from Grub 2 is trying to solve would not exist. But from the
article:
It's also a problem because the Windows 8 Logo program
currently mandates Restricted Boot on all ARM systems, which includes popular
computer types like tablets and phones. It says that users must not be able to
disable the boot restrictions or use their own signing keys.
What
you suggest will only work on PCs certified for Windows 8. And there you are
just left with the problem that disabling secure boot leaves the uninformed with
the idea that Linux is less secure. I'm guessing that alone would not be enough
for Canonical to switch boot loaders.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
