<sarcasm> Technically, yes. But without employing signed binaries whose signatures are checked before proceeding to the next step in the sequence, starting with UEFI restricted boot, users could easily replace any of the software and 'unapproved' 3rd party developers could even distribute compiled applications others could readily use. Since "the days of the PC as an open architecture" are to come to an end (because Bill Gates wants that or originally wanted that), such a situation cannot be allowed to continue. Imagine how insecure all of this is! </> _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
