Using Python 3 in the UEFI Shell for Platform Security Analysis

EDK2 has accepted a port of Python 3.6.8 that can be used in the UEFI Shell. Chipsec has adopted it and it can now be used to run Chipsec's suite of tests against the platform. This presentation will show some of the changes that had to be made to the EDK2 version of the python interpreter that were necessary to run Chipsec. The presentation will provide a brief overview of the Chipsec framework, some of its capabilities and why it's useful to everyone including but not limited to: IBVs, OEMs.
