The problem you're addressing (if any)

It's hard to reason through every possible case why an update may work or not work. Example:

DTS allows an update of a fused laptop with one set of keys to a version signed with another keys if the following are met:

  • Descriptor is unlocked (via external programmer)
  • ME is in HAP mode (impossible with locked descriptor)

Update from one version with one set of keys to another with another set of keys on a fused device should never be allowed

It's hard to describe every possible path, so a chart could help.

Describe the solution you'd like

A chart

Where is the value to a user, and who might that user be?

Not for users, but for developers working on the update processes
