Primes

• Bootstrapping
  • The prime's verified-boot reading adds the audit: a trust chain roots the whole sequence in a key independent of the firmware, the structural check that no hidden scaffold has been substituted.

    This sourceSpecifies the AEGIS verified-boot trust chain in which each stage cryptographically validates the next, rooted in an integrity check independent of the firmware being checked — the internal-sufficiency audit that no hidden scaffold has been substituted.

    AEGIS roots a chain of digital-signature checks in a small trusted section (BIOS portion plus PROM card) holding public keys; it does not frame the key as independent of firmware or as a hidden-scaffold audit.

    “serves as the root of an au- thentication chain that extends to the operating system”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
