TPM can be leveraged to encrypt your storage drive. Because it’s physically located inside your machine, attackers are much less likely to have any luck spoofing, tampering with, or defeating its protections. That fingerprint is then REQUIRED to access any of the information stored on your system. It’s a physical chip that’s soldered onto a motherboard and provides your computer with what amounts to a digital fingerprint. The “module” in Trusted Platform Module has traditionally been exactly that. But perhaps the most important aspect is actually right there in the name. The truth is, there’s nothing simple about TPM. Simple, everyday terminology there, right? How does TPM work? It generates, stores, and limits the use of cryptographic keys required to access system files. Now in its second generation, TPM 2.0, TPM acts as a secure crypto-processor. Providing a secure barrier between the information on a computer and attackers who wish to access it is the role of a Trusted Platform Module.
Security has only grown in importance as that information has become more sensitive and attacks on it more sophisticated. The security of digital information has been a hot topic from the moment digital information became a thing.
