 # 2. CISS.debian.live.builder – Boot & Trust Chain (Technical Documentation)

-**Status:** 2025-11-12
-**Audience:** CICA CISO, CISS staff, technically proficient administrators
-**Summary:** The CISS.debian Live-ISO establishes a two-stage verification chain without Microsoft-db: an early ISO-edge check (signature and FPR pin) *before* LUKS unlock, and a late root-FS attestation *after* unlock, reinforced by `dm-crypt (AES-XTS)` and `dm-integrity (HMAC-SHA-512)`.
