Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a small chip inside a computer that securely stores sensitive information like encryption keys, passwords, and digital certificates. Think of it as a high-security vault built into your device, ensuring that data used to verify your device's identity and protect information remains safe from tampering or theft. TPM helps enhance security by enabling features like secure boot, device authentication, and encrypted storage, making it harder for hackers to access or compromise your computer and data.
