 Topic: BIOS file hashes or signatures (question)Posted: 30 Dec 2022 at 2:32pm |

When you download Oracle JDK, they provide SHA512 hashes, and when you download TOR browser, they provide a PGP signature. Most win32 executables from major companies are signed with a security certificate. However, though the BIOS is clearly a hugely import piece from a computer security viewpoint, I don't see any SHA256/512 hashes or pgp signatures available for the BIOS downloads, and I don't think .ROM files can be signed in a way that allows Windows or the user to verify the signature. Why is this, Asrock? Why are these critical security measures not in place? |

I don't think any brand does this, but every BIOS is verified for a board before You update, so it can only use a BIOS verified for that particular board.
And Honestly, after 40 years in the business, the only time people ruined theur BIOS, was by there own doing, or downloading it from a different website, other than the manufacturers. I think, only when its proven, that a BIOS on their website, is hacked, they will react to the threat |
