James Bottomley has announced the availability of a version of the Tianocore UEFI implementation built into a KVM virtual machine; the result is a virtual system implementing the UEFI secure boot mechanism.

It should be a useful tool for anybody wanting to make a system that works within the UEFI secure boot environment.
