Having http as an alternative to tftp is a nice win. The range of things that can run an http server is much bigger than tftp<p>>Additionally, adding the TLS layer brings back the missing integrity and confidentiality guarantees and thus paves the way to move critical boot components out of the trusted network, possibly even to a remote location/Cloud.<p>Doesn't secure boot already provide this or am I misunderstanding something? I suppose secure boot only provides integrity but not confidentiality although I'm not sure how much confidentiality matters given we're just talking about the kernel here
