Hardware Security Validation Environment

Hardware Security Validation Environment is a collection of tools and documentation designed for validating hardware configuration on x86 platforms with emphasis on security requirements. The repository provides utilities to create a bootable USB key that operates in multiple modes for comprehensive hardware security assessment. One mode utilizes the chipsec tool to examine platform configuration registers, enabling users to verify hardware-level security settings and configurations. Another mode incorporates keytool.efi binary for inspecting and modifying SecureBoot key lists, allowing administrators to manage secure boot configurations directly at the hardware level. The environment includes detailed documentation covering tested modules and security-related CPU options, providing guidance for understanding and implementing hardware security validation procedures. This toolset is particularly useful for system administrators, security professionals, and hardware engineers who need to verify that x86 platforms meet specific security requirements and configurations at the hardware level.
