+Update permission verification
+------------------------------
+
+The FW management guidelines in [NIST_800_193]_ spacify that the system should check:
+
+#. FW image authenticity.
+#. FW update procedure authorization.
+
+The FW image authenticity should be implemented by authenticating the different FW images.
+The FW update authorization should be implemented by verifying that the capsule or its components were assembled
+by the platform owner.
+
+Capsule 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 platform owner public key is kept in an platform specific NV region.
+
+FW image authentication
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each FW image should be signed by the FW vendor. The mechanism for FW image vendor public
+key to be provisioned is outside the scope of this document.
+
+The FW vendor signature should be placed before the FW image as is described in the UEFI FMP definition
+(§ 23.1 [UEFI]_).
+
+The FW images should be authenticated before being written to the FW store or before being
+allowed to execute on the platform.
