TPM Support enables or disables TPM (Trusted Platform Module) support.
The TPM is a component on your computer’s mainboard that is specifically
designed to enhance platform security by providing a protected space for
key operations and other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and
software, TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most
vulnerable stages – operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in
plain-text form. TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and
platform authentication information from software-based attacks.
