Security Menu

The Security menu contains the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) setting.
The TPM is a component on your computer's mainboard that is
specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the
capabilities of today's software 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.
NOTE: To use the TPM feature, the TPM driver supplied with your computer must be
installed.
