### 1. What is verifiedBootKey

* This is the public key used to sign the boot image (boot/recovery/system, etc.).
* It is stored in the firmware and acts as the root of trust when verifying system integrity.
* The device manufacturer “burns” it into the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) or processor fuses (eFuse/OTP).
* If the key doesn’t match the expected one, the system considers the boot process unsafe.

In simple terms:
verifiedBootKey = who signed the firmware (root of trust).

---

### 2. What is verifiedBootHash (or boothash)

* This is a hash (SHA256, etc.) of the boot partition contents (or a set of partitions, depending on AVB).
* It is calculated at boot time and compared with the reference value from the manifest.
* If the hash is different → the partition has been modified (e.g., custom kernel or ramdisk).

In simple terms:
verifiedBootHash = what exactly was loaded (the actual boot state).

---

### 3. Connection and difference

* BootKey determines whether we trust *the signer of the firmware*.
* BootHash determines whether *the boot partition itself has been modified*.

Analogy:

* Key (verifiedBootKey) = the manufacturer’s official stamp.
* Hash (verifiedBootHash) = the fingerprint of the specific paper that has the stamp.

---

### 4. In the context of Key Attestation

In Android Key Attestation the TEE signs a report that contains:

* verifiedBootKey — shows which key the device trusts.
* verifiedBootHash — shows what was actually loaded.
* Together they allow external services to verify that the device is booting in a trusted and unmodified environment.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun redefines the meaning of 'copying' as 'benchmarking'

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun claims that Xiaomi 17 series is created to benchmark iPhones.

Q. So how does one benchmark iPhone according to Lei Jun?
Ans. You just make a copy of iPhone

That's why the Xiaomi 17 series has:
1:1 naming scheme
1:1 wallpaper (15S Pro),
1:1 icons
1:1 browser & photos UI
1:1 menu sheet
1:1 control center/ QS tiles
1:1 dynamic island (poorly implemented)
