Secure-boot is a feature of desktops and laptops that ensures the software running has not been tampered with and is trusted. From what I have seen, Linux users are less likely to think that Secure Boot is an important feature and many disable it entirely. I will teach the math behind Secure Boot, showing how it works so participants can better understand it, demystifying the technology. Next I will teach how Secure Boot improves security on computers that utilize it. Microsoft recently has made people annoyed with their insistence of requiring the TPM chip, a hardware feature that ensures Secure Boot keys have not been tampered with, leading many Linux users to dislike the technology.
