This repository contains experimental tooling for Secure Boot on
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/).
Remaining high-level things to do:
- Document a experimental setup for developers on how to use this repository
- Coordinate with bootspec RFC stakeholders to communicate a experience report on the bootspec usage ;
- Upstream as much as possible things: Rust unstable things on a stable compiler (?), etc. ;
- Unit testing for `lanzatool` ;
- Investigating how this can fit into systemd-boot theory about sysexts for initrds while keeping NixOS semantics ;
- Threat modelling explanations: "bring your own PKI", "share your PKI with MSFT CA", "bring rhboot shim with MOK", etc. ;
- Ensuring 99 % of the paths are "happy paths" : protecting user against bricking their machines, identifying sources of risk, communicating intent and detecting risks ;
- Experimenting with `fwupd`
- Experimenting with TPM2 measurements
- Studying the initrd secrets feature in NixOS wrt SecureBoot & TPM2

avoid having to embed kernel and initrd, we use a custom stub
`lanzaboote` (see below) that loads kernel and initrd from the ESP.
Remaining items to implement are:
- Migrations from non-SecureBoot machine (old generation files) ;
- Alternative Nix stores paths ;
- Key rotation support ;
- Bootspec (abuse) cleanups ;
- Automatic synchronization policies for changing PKI (rotating keys, re-enrolling them, etc.) ;
- NixOS specialisations support ;
- Automatic removal of unused files relative to the `configurationLimit` option ;
- `os-release` patch so `systemd-boot` shows pretty names with generation number
