Matthew Garnett, a red hat core developer, published an article detailing the introduction of Fedora 18 to support UEFI secure boot. UEFI secure boot will be a hardware technology compatible with Windows 8 in the future, it is used to ensure that the operating system can be started only with the correct digital signature.

The new UEFI, full name of "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface" (uniied Extensible Firmware Interface), is a standard that describes all new types of interfaces in detail. This interface is used to automatically load the operating system from the pre-started operating environment to an operating system, which simplifies the boot procedure and saves time.

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is an Intel Recommendation Standard for the architecture, interfaces, and services of all new types of PC Firmware. The graphic hardware setting interface in UEFI is designed to provide a set of hardware setting interfaces before the OS is loaded (before startup) consistent and correctly specified startup services on all platforms are considered as successors of pc bios with nearly 20 years of history.
