Summary: TPM support Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: madruga Submitted on: Wed 23 Sep 2015 04:32:32 AM GMT Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Feature Request Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: 2.02~beta1 Reproducibility: None Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Hello everyone, Some time ago many feature requests about TPM support were closed because FSF considered them dangerous[1,2,3]. In 2015 RMS declared TPM are not dangerous[4] ("...the “Trusted Platform Modules” available for PCs are not dangerous, and there is no reason not to include one in a computer or support it in system software."), so I think it's eligible now to ask this feature again. It was actually implemented in a GRUB fork[5] so the effort of implementing this feature is just a merge of code already written.
