The UEFI secure boot protocol is part of recent UEFI specification releases. It permits one or more signing keys to be installed into a system firmware. Once enabled, secure boot prevents executables or drivers from being loaded unless they're signed by one of these keys.

Alternatively, it may add keys to a blacklist. Binaries signed with a blacklisted key will not load.
