TPM, Trusted Platform Module, is an international standard for microcontrollers dedicated to hardware security (PC, smartphones, and tablets with Windows 10). Visually, this TPM is represented as a chip on the authenticating platform. tamper-resistant TPM physically connected to motherboards.
How to turn it on, friend?
