Explanation

TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module, which is a hardware component that securely stores encryption keys and other sensitive data12. TPM can be used to enable hard drive encryption, which is a technology that encrypts the data stored on a hard drive using sophisticated mathematical functions34. Hard drive encryption protects the data from unauthorized access in case the hard drive is lost, stolen, or tampered with.
