Secure Boot starts with initial boot-up protection, and then Trusted Boot picks up the process. Together, Secure Boot and Trusted Boot help to ensure your Windows 11 system boots up safely and securely.

Cryptography enforces privacy to prevent anyone except the intended recipient from reading data, integrity to ensure data is free of tampering, and authentication that verifies identity to ensure that communication is secure. The cryptography stack in Windows extends from the chip to the cloud enabling Windows, applications, and services protect system and user secrets.

Certificates are crucial to public key infrastructure (PKI) as they provide the means for safeguarding and authenticating information. Windows offers several APIs to operate and manage certificates.

The Windows Security app enables users to view their security settings, including virus & threat protection settings, firewall & network protection, device security, and more on their device.

The Windows Security app uses the Windows Security Service (SecurityHealthService or Windows Security Health Service), which in turn uses the Security Center service (wscsvc) to ensure the app provides the most up-to-date information about the protection status on the endpoint.
