TPM implementations are typically designed to meet an international standard created by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).TCG is a computer industry consortium that created the original TPM standard, which was later adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and subsequently named ISO/IEC 11889.
While the use of TPM technology has been part of enterprise IT for more than a decade, this is one of the first instances of Microsoft requiring its use for everyone, including for small and medium-sized businesses and consumers. They store a variety of sensitive information-such as user credentials, passwords, fingerprints, certificates, encryption keys, or other important consumer documentation-behind a hardware barrier to keep it safe from external attacks. TPMs use cryptography to help securely store essential and critical information on PCs to enable platform authentication.
One hardware-based security requirement is that all PCs running Windows 11 must have TPM 2.0 to run the operating system.Ī TPM, or a trusted platform module, is a physical or embedded security technology (microcontroller) that resides on a computer’s motherboard or in its processor. Businesses and consumers upgrading to Windows 11 will now benefit from new hardware-based security requirements that make their PCs more secure.
