Invalid signature: BIOS fails to verify the signature of the pre-bootapplication.
If there is a backup version of the application in BIOS flash (for example, HP System Diagnostics). BIOS will launch the
backup. Otherwise, BIOS displays an error message.

When UEFIBoot Mode is disabled, the “Boot from UEFIFile” option will not show up in the Boot Manager when F9 is pressed.
In such a case, the only way to launch HP UEFIapplications is to use the hot key.
The UEFIBIOS provides the nice feature for the user to customize the logo displaying during the boot. The logo is a bitmap
file that a customer can add/change on the HP_TOOLS partition.
Since BIOS can’t check the signature of the customized logo bitmap files, it may be used as an attack tool of the BIOS post
