Abstract
A method and system for securing an unified extensible firmware interface application program interface includes establishing a software hook for the application program interface during a pre-boot phase of a computing device and granting or denying access to the application program interface based on a comparison of a user token, which identifies the user, and an access control entry of an access control list associated with the application program interface.
