Abstract
A method of speeding up a secure boot process and an electronic device using the method. The method includes the following. Whether a storage medium stores a pre-stored hash value corresponding to an image file for the secure boot process is determined. A hash value of the image file is calculated to determine whether the hash value matches the pre-stored hash value in response to the storage medium storing the pre-stored hash value. Firmware in the image file is executed to boot up the electronic device in response to the hash value matching the pre-stored hash value.
