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.
