| 主权项 | 1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a device, signature unaware firmware code; and installing, by the device via boot code, the signature unaware firmware code on the first device, wherein the boot code is configured for installation of a signature aware firmware code and the signature unaware firmware code to the device, and wherein the installing the signature unaware firmware code further comprises: receiving a certificate separate from and associated with the signature unaware firmware code,determining whether the certificate is valid by verifying that a signature of the certificate is valid,in response to the certificate being valid, loading the signature unaware firmware code on the device, andin response to the certificate being invalid, preventing installation of the signature unaware firmware code on the device. | ||
