In general I am not against reorganization you are mentioning above. Though I think that then you should rearange Matthew code and repost it. Of course if Matthew does not object. Another thing is the verifiers framework. It would be nice if you could hook your work there. Though you have to remember about other users like UEFI secure boot (https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-07/msg00985.html; I am going to revive work on this patch) or GPG signatures. So, please take a look at that code at git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git, phcoder/verifiers branch. If it works for you I will post the patches, with minor fixes and improvements which are worth doing, for review (of course if Vladimir does not object). If you discover any issues with the verifiers framework just drop me a line and then we will try to fix them. And another thing... Could not we reuse Philip TPM 2.0 work in GRUB2 somehow?
