# sdsb - Self-Determination for Secure Boot
This program is designed to provide a simpler framework for creating kernels with different initramfs generators (such as [`mkinitcpio`][mkinitcpio], [`dracut`][dracut] and [`booster`][booster]), embedding them in [Unified Kernel Images][uki], and generating a configured bootloader to load these images from boot.
It uses [`sbctl`][sbctl] (or potentially some other framework) to use your own Secure Boot keys to lock down the entire boot chain. The idea is to do this in a relatively declarative manner that can ideally replace the various messy ad-hoc scripts used for generating bootloader configurations which have mixed support for non-mkinitcpio generators on Arch or other distributions.
This program is significantly influenced by the contents of the [Controlling Secure Boot][control-sb] page by Rod Smith
