61 static root of trust must be used. This bases trust in BIOS
62 starting at system reset and requires measurement of all code
63 executed between system reset through the completion of the kernel
64 boot as well as data objects used by that code. In the case of a
65 Linux kernel, this means all of BIOS, any option ROMs, the
66 bootloader and the boot config. In practice, this is a lot of
67 code/data, much of which is subject to change from boot to boot
74 By using the hardware-based root of trust that Intel TXT provides,
75 many of these issues can be mitigated. Specifically: many
78 of platform configuration checks are performed and values locked,
79 protection is provided for any data in the event of an improper
