Security
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) provides various cryptographic services
which serve as the cornerstone for many platform security technologies. Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) is a security device that stores computer-generated
keys for encryption and features such as BitLocker, Virtual Secure Mode, remote
Attestation.
By default, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) enabled to allow these security technologies to fully
function.
NOTE: The options that are listed apply to computers with a discrete
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip.
TPM 2.0 Security On Allows you to enable or disable TPM.
By default, the TPM 2.0 Security On option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping TPM 2.0
Security On enabled to allow these security technologies to fully function.
Attestation Enable The Attestation Enable option controls the endorsement hierarchy of TPM.
Disabling the Attestation Enable option prevents TPM from being used to
digitally sign certificates.
By default, the Attestation Enable option is enabled.
