<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Intel Boot Guard ==<br />
<br />
This is an issue that I haven't seen mentioned throughout the whole wiki, and since Samsung's practice of disabling bootloader unlock is listed in their page, I think it'd be appropriate to mention it here and for laptop manufacturers who enable it on their devices.<br />
<br />
What Intel Boot Guard does is fuse a key onto a motherboard's chipset (usually the CPU itself on mobile platforms, such as laptops if I'm not mistaken) and verify that the firmware being loaded is signed with that key. This restricts what firmware an owner of a device can use, including FOSS projects such as coreboot.
