What is UEFI? UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a specification that defines an
interface between a PC's firmware and an operating system. It replaces or can work in concert with
the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware that PCs have traditionally used. For Windows 8, a
key part of this specification is Secure Boot, which protects the PC from malware by allowing only
authorized boot loaders to run when the computer starts.
How does Windows 8 prevent attackers from replacing boot components? All systems with the
Windows 8 certification use Secure Boot (part of the UEFI specification) to protect hardware-related
firmware and the operating-system loader from tampering. Secure Boot can prevent the system
from booting if unauthorized changes have been made or possibly even refresh the some boot
components, such as the UEFI firmware, to a known good state.
What is Trusted Boot? Trusted Boot is a Windows 8 feature that secures the entire Windows boot
process. It prevents malware from hiding and taking up permanent residence within the PC by
ensuring none of the Windows components loaded during boot have been tampered with. Trusted
Boot also ensures that anti-malware software is loaded before any third-party drivers and
applications using its Early Launch Anti-Malware (ELAM) capability. This prevents malware from
inserting itself in front of the anti-malware engine so that it can compromise the anti-malware
engine's ability to protect the system. In the event that malware was able to successfully
compromise the any of the Windows boot process, Trusted Boot will attempt to automatically
remediate the issue.
What editions of Windows 8 will include Trusted Boot? All editions of Windows 8 include Trusted
Boot.
