Trusted Platform Module
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into devices.
Software can use a TPM to authenticate hardware devices. Because each TPM chip has a unique and secret RSA key which is embedded
during the manufacture of the TPM, it is capable of performing platform authentication operation.
This section contains information about installing the TPM, and initializing the TPM for BitLocker users and Intel TXT users.
