“The boot
process is the
most
fundamental
part of every
system start-
up. If the boot
code is
compromised,
nothing else
matters,

because either
the system is
dead or
hacked,” says
Axel Kloth,
founder and
CTO of
Axiado.
The boot
sequence has
recently
become a
popular
attack point
for hackers,
because it is
the initial
start-up
process of
every digital
system, hence
providing
access to
changing the
behavior of
the system to
gain complete
access. Until
now,
developers
have claimed
a boot process
that provides
some level of
security.
Nevertheless,
today’s
processors
fail to provide
a truly secure
start up since
they do not

nor the
integrity of
the boot code,
and they do
not guarantee
U.S. News World News that the code
is free of
malware or
that it has not
been
tampered
with. In these
processors, an
interrupted or
compromised
boot code
“bricks” the
device, which
prevents
subsequent
booting and
makes the
device
inoperable
permanently.
The currently
accepted but
unsecure
practice of
attempting to
recover from
bricking is to
disable the
Trusted
Platform

(TPM)
coprocessor.
This
procedure,
however,
makes it
possible to
install
malicious
software into

software into
the BIOS,
resulting in
either an non-

Axiado’s boot
subsystem
does three
things that
other
developers
have not been
able to
5 of 13 20-01-2023, 17:46
demonstrate:
(1) it
authenticates
the person or
organization
U.S. News World News executing the
BIOS update,
(2)
authenticates
(signs) the
code, and (3)
encrypts the
code. Due to
these
capabilities
and Axiado’s
unique
architecture,
attacks
against
Axiado’s
secure boot
will not be
able to
penetrate the
system and
alter the
BIOS, and
hence, not
result in
bricking.
Furthermore,
systems that
require
continuous
availability
will benefit
from in-
service
upgrades of
the firmware.
To our
knowledge,
no one else
has been able
to do this yet.
6 of 13 20-01-2023, 17:46
to do this yet.
“What we
have achieved
is the
foundation
for a secure
internet,” said
Ashok Babbar,
CEO and
Chairman of
Axiado.
“Axiado’s fully
secure boot
can be
deployed, for
example, in
financial
services,
manufacturing,
businesses,
and data
centers. It is
the first one
of a
comprehensive
set of
proactive
defenses that
are built in
Axiado’s
security
platform.”
Rik Turner, an
analyst at
Ovum says
that “if
Axiado can
demonstrate
that its boot
is truly
secure, they
can claim
having the
primary pillar
for an
impenetrable
7 of 13 20-01-2023, 17:46
impenetrable
digital
system.”
