# shim for iPXE | ||
|
||
This is a lightly modified version of the general-purpose [shim][shim] | ||
used to enable UEFI Secure Boot for open source projects. | ||
|
||
This fork includes modifications to simplify the use of shim with | ||
[iPXE][ipxe]. In particular, this shim is built to trust the iPXE | ||
project's [EV code signing certificate](../ipxe.crt), and includes | ||
logic to automatically determine the iPXE filename based on the name | ||
used for the shim itself, by stripping out the shim portion of the | ||
filename. For example: | ||
|
||
| shim filename | iPXE filename | | ||
| :-------------------- | :-------------------- | | ||
| ipxe-shimx64.efi | ipxe.efi | | ||
| intel-shimx64.efi | intel.efi | | ||
| snponly-shimx64.efi | snponly.efi | | ||
|
||
The UEFI Secure Boot signed binaries can be downloaded from the | ||
releases listed at https://github.com/ipxe/shim/releases | ||
|
||
(Note that only full releases are signed: prereleases will contain | ||
unsigned binaries.) | ||
