HalogenOS leverages modern hardware security features to protect the system against tampering, intrusion, exfiltration, and corruption. These features, unfortunately, are not often found on consumer devices, leaving system hardware and firmware vulnerable to attack. This requirement policy is based on [the Linux Firmware Vendor Service](https://fwupd.org/)'s [Host Security Identifier (HSI) Specification](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/fwupd/+/refs/heads/fwupd-1.6.3/docs/hsi.md), which outlines what elements determine a system's resistance to different levels of attack sophistication.

Due to scarcity of sufficiently compliant hardware, HalogenOS targets HSI 2 or greater for its baseline, instead of HSI 3, 4, or 5. Devices compliant with HSI 2 require at least: Due to scarcity of sufficiently compliant hardware, HalogenOS targets HSI 2 or greater for its baseline, instead of HSI 3, 4, or 5.
