Description

GRUB 2 files can be signed and verified for setups that use the check_signatures feature. It is useful for administrators who want stronger control over which boot files are accepted.

Bootloader changes can make a machine fail to start if the wrong disk, firmware mode, or configuration is used. Keep recovery media available and review generated entries before rebooting. Signing keys and trust settings are sensitive, so protect private keys and document recovery steps.
