METHOD FOR SECURE BOOTING OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM OF COMPUTERS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G06F21/57 G06F21/64 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of information technology. The method for secure booting of the computer operating system includes the stages of preparing the computer, encrypting the operating system files, launching a separately hosted operating system loader, decrypting files and loading the operating system. The bootloader of the operating system is started from a network resource. Before starting the loader, the root file system of the operating system is encrypted. The encryption key is formed in accordance with the parameters of the computer hardware. The files of the operating system loader, its kernel and the image of the initial file system placed in the network resource are signed digitally. The exchange with the network resource takes place via a secure hypertext transfer protocol using symmetric encryption.

EFFECT: increase in the degree of protection against unauthorized access when loading the computer operating system and providing the possibility of parallel loading of computer operating systems to computer network workstations.
