A TPM chip can be used to store and process keys used in hard-drive encryption systems. TPM is an acronym for ______.
Trusted Platform Module
Trusted Platform Model
Tested Platform Module
Trusted Program Module
The correct response is Trusted Platform Module (TPM) . TPM is both a specifcation for a cryptoprocessor chip on a mainboard and the general name for implementation of the specifcation. A TPM chip is used to store and process cryptographic keys for the purposes of a hardware supported/implemented hard drive encryption system. Generally, a hardware implementation, rather than a software-only implementation of hard drive encryption, is considered to be more secure.
