Boot Image Authentication

During a secure boot, the first-stage boot loader (in the boot ROM) uses the root public key and associated key chain to authenticate the second-stage boot loader image as follows:
  1. Determine the configuration settings of the device (by reading the fuse values)
  2. Attempt to authenticate the boot image, using the root public key type from the configuration settings
