Secure Boot Configuration Skill

Purpose

This skill reports the current UEFI Secure Boot configuration on the target system.

What to Report

• Secure Boot status (Enabled/Disabled)
• Setup Mode status (Enabled/Disabled)
• Platform Key (PK) presence
• Key Exchange Keys (KEK) enrolled
• Signature database (db) entries

Commands

Check Secure Boot Status

# Check if Secure Boot is enabled
mokutil --sb-state

# Alternative: Check EFI variable directly.
# The first 4 bytes are the EFI attributes header, so skip them and read 1 data byte.
cat /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/SecureBoot-* 2>/dev/null | od -An -t u1 -j 4 -N 1 | tr -d ' '

Interpreting Output:

• SecureBoot enabled → Secure Boot is active
• Data byte value 1 → Enabled, 0 → Disabled

Check Setup Mode

mokutil --sb-state | grep -i "setup mode"

# Alternative: Check EFI variable directly.
# The first 4 bytes are the EFI attributes header, so skip them and read 1 data byte.
cat /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/SetupMode-* 2>/dev/null | od -An -t u1 -j 4 -N 1 | tr -d ' '

Interpreting Output:

• Value 0 → Setup Mode disabled (normal operation)
• Value 1 → Setup Mode enabled (keys can be modified)

Check Secure Boot Keys

# Platform Key (PK)
mokutil --pk

# Key Exchange Keys (KEK)
mokutil --kek

# Signature database (db)
mokutil --db

# List all enrolled keys
mokutil --list-enrolled

Output Format

SECURE BOOT
  Status: Enabled/Disabled
  Setup Mode: Enabled/Disabled
  Platform Key (PK): Present/Not Found
  Key Exchange Keys (KEK): X enrolled
  Signature Database (db): X entries

Dependencies

• mokutil package
• EFI boot mode (not legacy BIOS)
• Access to /sys/firmware/efi/ filesystem
