Heads: the other side of TAILS

Heads is a configuration for laptops that tries to bring more security to commodity hardware. Among its goals are:

  • Use free software on the boot path
  • Move the root of trust into hardware (or at least the ROM)
  • Measure and attest to the state of the firmware
  • Measure and verify all filesystems

It is a work in progress and not yet ready for users.


Components:

  • CoreBoot
  • Linux
  • busybox
  • kexec
  • tpmtotp
  • QubesOS (Xen)
