Secure Boot is the first line of defense in Trusted Launch. It establishes a "root of trust" for VMs by ensuring that only signed operating systems and drivers are allowed to boot. This prevents the installation of malware-based rootkits and bootkits, which can compromise the security of the entire system. With Secure Boot enabled, every aspect of the boot process, from the boot loader to the kernel and kernel drivers, must be digitally signed by trusted publishers. This creates a robust shield against unauthorized modifications and ensures that the VM starts in a secure and trusted state.
