Abstract
A method relating generally to loading a boot image is disclosed. In such a method, a header of a boot image file is read by boot code executed by a system-on-chip. It is determined whether the header read has an authentication certificate. If the header has the authentication certificate, authenticity of the header is verified with the first authentication certificate. It is determined whether the header is encrypted. If the header is encrypted, the header is decrypted.
