  • Abstract
    BootSafe is a system for verifying the safety of boot firmware at load time. It employs inexpensive static checks of compiled code, based on the efficient code certification (ECC) technique. We demonstrate a prototype of the BootSafe system that verifies safety of fcode programs for use with open firmware compliant boot platforms.
