One Line Summary

The content of this presentation will be technical, although not very heavy. The target audience is thus Linux developers, system administrators, but the content will also be accessible to experienced Linux users.

Abstract

I want to follow up on last year’s presentation of Matthew Garret’s presentation on Secure Boot in Linux, going into more detail on the MOK concept and explaining the state of the implementation, the acceptance of the Linux-specific parts by the hardware industry, political tensions, as well as remaining challenges, including how Secure Boot should interact with hibernation and kexec.
