Heads is coming along in usability and has a strong focus on securing the boot process through TPM measurement and using the flash security features. It fits the 4.9.20 Linux kernel + initrd into 4 MB, including all of the crypto, networking and other features. The eventual user kernel (or Xen hypervisor and dom0 kernel) are GPG verified and invoked via kexec for a slightly more secure, legacy free boot process.
