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.
