Cryptopkg

UEFI details interfaces between the OS and platform firmware. Several security features were introduced (e.g. Authenticated Variable Service, Driver Signing, etc) starting in UEFI Specification version 2.2 (http://www.uefi.org). These security features highly depend on cryptography, which is implemented in EDK II using CryptoPkg.
