Measured boot requires secure boot to be enabled as one of its components.
The real value of measured boot is when paired with full disk encryption as it protects against boot loader attacks that can compromise your sealed keys.
Never heard of that
Does "every" modern BIOS support that?
Need to read up on it...
I use Aeon on my laptop, and I will say there are usability issues, but hopefully the kinks get worked out. Since installing in March, I've had to enter my recovery key and reenroll three times due to some kind of firmware update. This is on an older laptop (Ryzen 3500U), so I don't know if it's a common issue or unique to me.
Anyway, it's a cool idea, I hope it gets more attention. The benefits for regular users are fairly minimal, but I certainly appreciate security for security's sake.
Thanks!
That's good to know.
As I need my laptop for work, I can't really risk such experiments...
Yeah, mine is just for mucking around at home. I mostly browse the web and play casual games. Nothing important is stored there, so if I need to reinstall, then so be it.
Ah, ok, gotcha.
Thanks for the input!
