Capsule authorization
FW update authorization
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The OS can expose the UpdateCapsule interface to any non-priveliged system user.
The FW updates initiator or the FW update package creator should
be an authorized user [NIST_800_193]_.
The capsule or the FW images contained in the capsule should be signed by a platform owner key.
The UEFI implementation should authenticate the capsule or
the different fw images included in the capsule using the platform owner key.
The capsule or FW image components are signed by the platform owner in a platform specific way.
The FW update authorization [NIST_800_193]_ can be checked by the OS, using OS specific methods, before calling
UpdateCapsule. Alternatively, the FW update authorization can rely on the FW image authenticity check.
If all FW images in the capsule are authentic then the user is deemed authorized to progress with the FW update procedure.
The platform owner public key is kept in an platform specific NV region.
