      Verified Operating System is the one where the manufacturer or OEM has built, installed, with a guarantee that it has not been tampered or rooted in any manner which can hinder DRM or any security guarantee it offers by default.

      Think SafetyNet and verified boot on android, Or UEFI secure boot on windows.
