-To update secure boot configuration
+The source code for VeraCrypt EFI bootloader files is available at: https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt-DCS
+Use tag "VeraCrypt_1.18" to extract the sources that were used when building VeraCrypt 1.18.
+
+VeraCrypt-DCS uses EDK II as its UEFI development environement.
+
+VeraCrypt-DCS is licensed under LGPL: https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt-DCS/blob/master/LICENSE
+
+Here the steps to build VeraCrypt-DCS (Visual Studio 2010 SP1 should be installed)
+ * Clone EDK: git clone https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io.git edk2
+ * Switch to UDK2015 branche: git checkout UDK2015
+ * Clone VeraCrypt-DCS as DcsPkg inside edk2 folder: git clone https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt-DCS.git DcsPkg
+ * Switch to VeraCrypt_1.18 branche: git checkout VeraCrypt_1.18
+ * Setup EDK by typing edksetup.bat at the root of folder edk2
+ * change directoty to DcsPkg and then type setenv.bat.
+ * change directory to DcsPkg\Library\VeraCryptLib and then type mklinks_src.bat: you will be asked to provide the path to VeraCrypt src folder.
+ * change directory to DcsPkg and then type dcs_bld.bat X64Rel
+ * After the build is finished, EFI bootloader files will be present at edk2\Build\DcsPkg\RELEASE_VS2010x86\X64

+Secure Boot:
+In order to allow VeraCrypt EFI bootloader to run when EFI Secure Boot is enabled, VeraCrypt EFI bootloader files are signed
+using a custom key whose public part can be loader into Secure Boot to allow the verification of VeraCrypt EFI files.
+
+below are instruction to update Secure Boot configuration:
1. Enter BIOS configuration
2. Switch Secure boot to setup mode (or custom mode). It deletes PK (platform certificate) and allows to load DCS platform key.
3. Boot Windows
