Why bother with default keys? Why not just ship with SecureBoot as an optional feature? If people want to really be secure they need to enroll their own key they trust.
- jlgreco 14y agoThat would be better, though shipping with default keys would be more of a "fuck you" to microsoft I think, which appeals to me.
- recoiledsnake 14y agoI wonder who will take on the responsibility on educating people like my mom on who to trust and how to enroll public and private keys. Or how about we have it secure by default and allow people who presumably know what they're doing to turn it off or enroll their own keys or ones they trust because of their heightened knowledge? Are there really a lot of people who are able to partition their hard disk but unable to turn secure boot off? How does that compare with the number of people running Windows and vulnerable to malware and bootkits?
