- Description
- The SCAP file format (.scap) is associated with EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface), which is a specification designed to replace the older BIOS firmware interface used by most computers. The EFI firmware is responsible for booting up the system, and it provides a more modern, flexible, and secure way of managing the boot process compared to traditional BIOS. An SCAP file is essentially an EFI Firmware File that contains firmware update information or data intended for the EFI environment.
- A 7Z file is a type of compressed archive that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. This type of file is often used to store multiple directories and files in a single, compressed package. 7Z files can also include strong AES-256 encryption for added security. They are commonly created using the 7-Zip utility developed by Igor Pavlov.
