The AM firmware updates are signed and Coreboot is not.
- mysterypie 5y agoI don't think I'd make that security tradeoff. From best to worst, I'd rank the options is this order: (1) signed open source (2) unsigned open source (3) signed proprietary (4) unsigned proprietary In some cases I might rank #3 as the worst option if it prevents me from editing the firmware binary (to fix a security bug myself or to remove tracking info like a serial number), reverse engineering the firmware to verify it (because signed code is often encrypted as well), or installing alternate firmware that might be more secure.
