Security-related FAQs

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. It has a security-related crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The most common TPM functions are used for system integrity measurements and for key creation and use. TPMs are passive: they receive commands and return responses. Lately, the TPM version moves from version 1.2 to 2.0. TPM 2.0 has have important security advantages over TPM 1.2, but is not downward compatible. Traditionally, TPMs have been discrete chips soldered to a computer’s mainboard (e.g. DQ170). Recently, the OEM manufacturers use another implementation: the Firmware TPM solution (fTPM), running the TPM in firmware in a Trusted Execution mode of a general purpose computation unit.

The following list shows which Shuttle XPC models include the fTPM v2.0 function.
