TPM 2.0 Security Module Discrete encryption processor for desktop and laptop computers What this module does Provides a hardware root of trust that isolates cryptographic keys and security functions from the main CPU and operating system. Enables secure key generation, storage, and use for disk encryption, secure boot, authentication, and platform attestation. Performs cryptographic operations on a dedicated processor to reduce load on the host system and limit exposure of sensitive material. Key benefits Stronger protection for credentials and encryption keys by keeping them in hardware rather than software. Reduces attack surface for firmware and credential theft by enabling hardwarebacked integrity checks. Improves system performance for security tasks by offloading cryptographic operations to a discrete processor. Simple integration with systems designed for TPM 2.0 support, helping implement secure boot, encrypted storage, and device authentication features. Important attributes Function: TPM 2.0 compliant discrete security processor providing key storage, random number generation, cryptographic primitives, and platform integrity measurements. Compatibility: Designed for computers with a TPM 2.0 header or connector and mainstream operating systems that support the TPM 2.0 standard. Form factor: Compact lowprofile module built for internal installation on compatible motherboards or device PCBs. Material and build: Rugged circuit board and connector assembly designed for stable electrical and mechanical installation. Performance: Dedicated crypto engine provides fast, reliable handling of signing, key management, and secure storage without burdening the host CPU. Practical use scenarios Full disk encryption: Use the TPM module to store encryption keys in hardware so the operating system and user credentials remain protected if the storage device is removed or the system is tampered with. Secure boot and firmware integrity: Implement platform integrity checks at boot time to ensure firmware and boot components have not been altered, helping prevent persistent malware. Enterprise device authentication: Provide hardwarebacked device identity for secure enrollment, remote attestation, and authentication when connecting to corporate networks or management services. Why choose a discrete TPM module Hardware isolation reduces risk compared to purely softwarebased key storage. Easy path to add TPM 2.0 functionality to systems that include a compatible header or connector. Enables wellestablished security features that many modern systems and management tools expect from a secure platform. What to check before Confirm your motherboard or device supports a TPM 2.0 module and has the appropriate header or connector. Verify your operating system or management stack supports TPM 2.0 based security features you plan to use. Ensure physical fit and connector alignment match your system layout for straightforward installation. This TPM 2.0 Security Module is intended to add hardwarebased cryptographic protection and platform integrity features to compatible computers, improving overall system security with a dedicated, isolated processor for encryption and key management.
