Sven, Hi and welcome to the list. Feel free to join us in the the IRC channel #etherboot on freenode.
As for the https, it currently doesn't do any form of verifications against the CA. (I'm actually working on a patch for this, but it isn't a simple road ahead). But if you're looking to have a fun afternoon, look in http://www.etherboot.org/share/sha0/gpxe/src/bin/doc/html/files.html for https.c and tls.h ... The difficulty with creating a truly secure https session, is the lack of random number generation on boot. If you're looking to do some form of authentication, I'd insert RSA keys that verify the md5 check, kinda like SSH-RSA token exchanges. Or look into using a boot.php file that checks versus a login... I'm sure as the day progresses, more will be adding to this thread.
