Its gonna be really funny in a few years when we learn that TPM2 / Windows’ Specific Implementation of SecureBoot has a backdoor for the NSA, just like how the Kinect did.

They never had any legitimate reason to fuck with bootloader as hard as they have been.

Truecrypt had claims but with no substantial evidence, and Veracrypt is a FOSS fork with no secrets about how it achieves its encryption functionality.
