[Lpc-announce] System Boot and Security Microconference Accepted into 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference

We are pleased to announce that the System Boot and Security
Microconference has been accepted into the 2019 Linux Plumbers
Conference! Computer-system security is a topic that has gotten a lot
of serious attention over the years, but there has not been anywhere
near as much attention paid to the system firmware. But the firmware is
also a target for those looking to wreak havoc on our systems. Firmware
is now being developed with security in mind, but provides incomplete
solutions. This microconference will focus on the security of the
system especially from the time the system is powered on.

Expected topics for this year include:

 - TPMs[1]
 - SRTM and DRTM[2]
 - Intel TXT[3]
 - AMD SKINIT[4]
 - Attestation
 - UEFI Secure Boot[5]
 - IMA[6]
 - Intel SGX[7]
 - Boot loaders
 - Firmware
 - OpenBMC[8]

Come and join us in the discussion of keeping your system secure even
at boot up.

We hope to see you there[9]!

LPC[10] will be held in Lisbon, Portugal from Monday, September 9
through Wednesday, September 11.
