Re: Virtualization
Date: 2012-06-01 12:04 pm (UTC)A TPM is a hardware module that is available to the OS. You could probably use it to implement something like Secure Boot, but the value of a TPM is that it let's you perform certain operations (say encryption/decryption) and store certain information (say keys) in "safe" way. Common usage is to use it for disk encryption key storage.
