Daily reminder that verified boot is objectively superior to "secure boot", once again a common Linux W and another example of Google actually promoting some good security practices

    Same thing?

    You can add custom keys to secure boot.

    Both are different names for a process that ensures the boot process is loading the correct non-malicious code.

    Secure boot verifies the system is booting correct code, verified boot can ensure total system integrity and can protect against tampering. Furthermore the Linux implementation of secure boot is very often in the least secure method.
