- Enhances the security of full-disk encryption like BitLocker
- Secure boot:
- Verifies the integrity of the boot process
- Helps prevent malware from tampering with the system startup
- Authentication:
- Stores passwords, certificates, and encryption keys
- Can be used for hardware-based two-factor authentication
- Anti-tampering:
- Detects unauthorized changes to hardware or firmware
- Helps protect against physical attacks on the device
- Random number generation:
- Provides high-quality random numbers for cryptographic operations
- Remote attestation:
- Allows the system to prove its identity and integrity to remote parties
- Key protection:
- Securely stores cryptographic keys, making them difficult to extract
- Support for Windows features:
