UEFI
|

Unified Extensible Firmare Interface. UEFI replaces the

||||
traditional BIOS on PCs, while also providing BIOS emulation for
|
||||
backward compatibility. UEFI can run in 32-bit or 64-bit mode and, more
|

important, support Secure Boot, checking the OS validity to ensure no
|

malware has tampered with the boot process.

IDT
|

Interrupt Descriptor Table: a data structure used by the x86
|

architecture to implement an interrupt vector table. The IDT is used
|

to determine the correct response to interrupts and exceptions.
|

|
||||
ISR
|
||||
Interrupt Service Routine: Also known as an interrupt handler, an ISR
|
||||
is a callback function whose execution is triggered by a hardware
|
||||
interrupt (or software interrupt instructions) and is used to handle
|
||||
high-priority conditions that require interrupting the current code
|
||||
executing on the processor.
