We characterize extensions of commutative rings R ⊆ S whose sets of subextensions [R, S] are finite (i.e. R ⊆ S has the FIP property) and are Boolean lattices, that we call Boolean FIP extensions. Some characterizations involve "factorial" properties of the poset [R, S]. A non trivial result is that each subextension of a Boolean FIP extension is simple (i.e. R ⊆ S is a simple pair).
