It will initially attempt to do this via the +standard EFI LoadImage() and StartImage() calls. If these fail (because secure +boot is enabled and the binary is not signed with an appropriate key, for +instance) it will then validate the binary against a built-in certificate. If +this succeeds and if the binary or signing key are not blacklisted then shim +will relocate and execute the binary. + +WWW: https://github.com/mjg59/shim |
