Tails, the security-focused OS, adds support for Secure Boot
From David Garcia · Apr 09, 2020
Tail OS, an operating system optimized for privacy and anonymity, has released version 4.5 this week, the first version that supports a crucial security feature named UEFI Secure Boot.
Secure Boot works by using cryptographic signatures to verify that firmware files loaded during a computer's boot-up process are authentic and have not been tampered.
If any of the firmware checks fail, Secure Boot has the authority to stop the boot process, preventing the operating system from launching.
