Secure start up systems help to safeguard sensitive data, stop modifications that are not authorized and ensure that only certified and digitally signed software is executed. This is particularly important when using devices on the edge that are vulnerable to attack.

Secure Boot is a protocol that runs on UEFI, which is the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. It operates every time a system starts. It works in conjunction with the TPM which is a hardware-based data security tool.

Secure Boot verifies the authenticity of the bootloader prior to it allows the operating system or other applications that are functional to be launched. This ensures that the kernel and drivers are valid. The security mechanisms that underlie this process are based on cryptography. For secure boot to be effective, the code in the bootloader, operating system and other functional applications must be developed with care and analyzed thoroughly for any flaws as part of the software development process.

If you’d like to use the secure startup feature on your LG device, you must have a pattern or PIN. If someone attempts to guess your pin via trial and error for more than a certain amount of times, it will lock the device and require an authorization code to unlock the device. This will prevent unauthorized access to the device and its data, as well as accidental misuse by anyone who could have physical access.
