Andy had a concern that you could set root of trust multiple times, which could lead to potential attack scenarios. These MSRs are one-shot. ENCLS will fail if the launch control is locked. There's no possiblity to have a root of trust that is unlocked. > Thanks, > > Ingo /Jarkko _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
