The TPM is a cryptographic module that enhances computer security and privacy. This article offers a brief overview of the TPM, describes how it works, and discusses the benefits that TPM brings to Windows and the cumulative security impact of running Windows on a PC that contains a TPM. To achieve many of these security enhancements, Windows makes extensive use of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). It places hardware-based security deeper inside the operating system than previous Windows versions had done, maximizing platform security while increasing usability.
The Windows operating system improves most existing security features in the operating system and adds groundbreaking new security features such as Device Guard and Windows Hello for Business.
