+ <body>
+ <p>UEFI Secure Boot is a mechanism that requires boot
+ drivers and operating system loaders to be cryptographically
+ signed by an authorized key. It will refuse to execute any
+ software that is not correctly signed, and is intended to secure
+ boot drivers and operating system loaders from malicious
+ tampering or replacement.</p>
+
+ <p>The utility to add Authenticode signatures to EFI files,
+ uefisign(8), was committed to 11-CURRENT and will ship in
+ 10.2-RELEASE. Ports for other open source utilities were added
+ to the Ports Collection, as <tt>sysutils/pesign</tt>,
+ <tt>sysutils/sbsigntool</tt>, and <tt>sysutils/shim</tt>. There
+ is a prototype patch that makes boot1 use the Secure Boot shim, and
+ modifies the shim to provide the functionality necessary
+ for a successful bootstrap.</p>
