EFI - Definition and Overview

The Extensible Firmware Interface, or EFI, is a new BIOS specification designed for use with trusted computing. It allows vendors to create drivers which cannot be reverse engineered. It also allows Operating Systems to run in a sandbox, letting networking and memory manegment be handled by the firmware. Hardware access is converted to calls to the EFI drivers. The EFI bios is used to select the operating system, replacing boot loaders.
