    They say it’s “Platform secure boot” by AMD. They refuse to elaborate further though, and no one knows wth that is. Except AMD themselves ofc: https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/technologies/pro-technologies.html

    Platform secure boot is designed to provide protection in response to growing firmware-level remote attacks being seen across the industry. AMD Secure Boot helps continue the chain of trust from the system BIOS to the OS Bootloader.

    Ah fuck it, here’s the security researchers explanation: https://labs.ioactive.com/2024/02/exploring-amd-platform-secure-boot.html?m=1
