'''[[Trusted Media Brands|Trusted]] Platform Module''' ('''TPM''') is an international standard for a [[secure cryptoprocessor]], a dedicated microcontroller designed to secure hardware through integrated cryptographic keys. The term can also refer to a [[integrated circuit|chip]] conforming to the standard ISO/IEC 11889. Common uses are to verify platform integrity (to verify that the [[boot process]] starts from a trusted combination of hardware and software), and to store disk encryption keys.
One of [[Windows 11]]'s operating system requirements is TPM 2.0 implementation. Microsoft has stated that this is to help increase security against firmware attacks.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Warren |first=Tom |date=2021-06-25 |title=Why Windows 11 is forcing everyone to use TPM chips |url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/25/22550376/microsoft-windows-11-tpm-chips-requirement-security |access-date=2021-11-13 |publisher=The Verge |language=en}}</ref>
