───┘ This would enable safe booting via TFPT, without signatures, assuming you checked and trusted the vbr when you efibootmgr'd it. The UEFI could load speculatively and display a computed vbr for an image it loaded and didn't recognize. The user could then check the the web for a trusted opinion and bail or proceed (given UEFI password) to accept the new image and white-list it with one-shot trial boot if desired. This would also be a nice way to validate a boot-to-guile image ;-) -- Regards, Bengt Richter
