MSI TPM 2.0 module

Together with a corresponding software and an adapted operating system, the TPM forms a so-called Trusted Computing Platform (TC platform), which protects a PC against manipulations on software basis by unauthorized third parties.

The security features of a TPM include:
Sealing: Encryption by means of a hash (key), bound to the TPM
Binding / Wrapping: Storage of keys on data storage
Protection of cryptic keys: Keys generated within the TPM are protected against unauthorized software / hardware access.
Remote Attestation (Certificate): Certificate means that a system is TPM-secured.
