NSA Starts Contributing Low-Level Code to UEFI BIOS Alternative

The NSA’s Eugene Myers has begun contributing SMI Transfer Monitor (STM) implementation code for the x86 processor. Myers published a paper about STM last year on how NSA’s STM implementation could work. All Coreboot code, including all the STM contributions from the NSA, are open source, so anyone could verify that there is no backdoor in there — in theory.
