Secure Boot
A security mechanism of UEFI firmware that permits loading only signed bootloaders and kernel modules, and is used to block low-level malware.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Secure Boot is a security mechanism of UEFI firmware that only allows loading signed bootloaders and kernel modules.
NVIDIA proprietary drivers are provided as closed-source kernel modules and are not in the Secure Boot trusted signature list by default; when Secure Boot is enabled, users need to register a Machine Owner Key via mokutil and sign the modules, otherwise the driver cannot load.
In recent years, controversies in the Windows ecosystem have centered on the mandatory binding of Microsoft accounts during the installation stage, Windows 11's hard requirements for TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, and the increase in built-in ads and recommended content in the system.
Some Roborock models have introduced a Secure Boot mechanism that verifies firmware signatures, raising the barrier to flashing.
