- Asraelite 5mo agoSecure boot doesn't provide security, just control for device manufacturers. Physical access always means the device is pwned. You can install a keylogger or something similar.

If you wanted to install physical keylogger, you would need to open the device up, and at least my laptop provides detection of bottom cover removal, meaning the system will ask you for a bios password if the laptop was opened up.
