    I don’t understand the requirement for a proprietary software for this. Meanwhile, boot chain verification exists already. And there is no reason why it can’t be under the control of the user - with a user-supplied private key.

      Could you explain? I dont understant very well, from what I thought free software should be able to be replaced by anything

        Free software should be able to be replaced by anything - by the owner. There is no technical reason the device can’t still be locked to prevent modification by someone else. There are already free software that allows you (the owner) to remotely screen-lock the device.
