A Brief Reflection on Trusted Platform Module Support

Martin Pirker, Robert Haas

2024

Abstract

Trusted Computing and its Trusted Platform Module were introduced about 20 years ago. However, their impact is still limited, only a small number of applications use a TPM, only a few people know that their computer hosts one and what it can be used for. With the ongoing transition from now dominant Windows 10 to Windows 11, every common PC is required to have a TPM to run Windows 11. This short paper reflects on the current environment and state of support for TPMs. It investigates a selection of TPMs, their features, and surveyed the available software stacks to use them. It reports on the findings and the finer details discovered while using TPMs. Overall, this paper contributes to the ongoing discovery and learning about TPM v2, as it will be inevitably a part of our computing with PCs future.
