This repository contains experimental tooling for Secure Boot on
|
|
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/).

|
## lanzatool
|
|
|
|
`lanzatool` is a Linux command line application that takes a
|
|
[bootspec](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/125) document and
|
|
installs the boot files into the UEFI
|
|
[ESP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition).
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make systemd-boot recognize a new boot target, `lanzatool` builds a
|
|
[UKI](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image) image. To
|
|
avoid having to embed kernel and initrd, we use a custom stub
|
|
`lanzaboote` (see below) that loads kernel and initrd from the ESP.
|
|
|
|
## lanzaboote
|
|
|
|
`lanzaboote` is the stub that `lanzatool` uses to form an UKI. It
|
|
loads a Linux kernel and initrd without breaking the Secure Boot chain
|
|
of trust. Instead of rolling our own crypto, `lanzaboote` re-uses the
|
|
signature verification that is built-in to UEFI.
