One of the most exciting features of Windows 11 has been the inclusion of the Trusted Platform Module, or TPM, as Microsoft announced the beginning of a new era of computing. Users and industry observers alike have been equally intrigued and apprehensive about this requirement.
TPM is an important hardware feature that was originally known primarily within cybersecurity and enterprise IT circles, but has now become central to Microsoft’s vision for creating a more secure computing environment.
However, this unexpected requirement has raised a number of questions for consumers and PC builders alike, resulting in uncertainty regarding compatibility, accessibility, and the future of personal computing security. Essentially, the Trusted Platform Module is a specialised security chip incorporated into a computer’s motherboard to perform hardware-based cryptographic functions.
The TPM system is based upon a foundational hardware approach to security, unlike traditional software systems that operate on software. As a result, sensitive data such as encryption keys, passwords, and digital certificates are encapsulated in a protected enclave and are protected from unauthorised access. This architecture ensures that critical authentication information remains secured against tampering and unauthorised access, no matter what sophisticated malware attacks are la
