Abstract
A verification for a secure boot process may include determining a determined signature for a compendium stored in a memory where the compendium includes a bootloader and an operating system, accessing a verification signature corresponding to the compendium, and comparing the verification signature with the determined signature where if the verification signature is the same as the determined signature, the compendium is verified as secure and a secure boot process is performed with the bootloader and operating system. The compendium may include one or more applications such that the applications may be verified as secure with the verification signature.
