[[File:TPM 2.0 implementation on Linux screenshot.png|thumb|upright=1.2|Screenshot of <code>tpm2-software</code> showing the reading of Platform Configuration Registers (PCR), the getrandom result taken from TPM device, and TPM version (2.0)]]
The primary scope of TPM is to ensure the [[data integrity|integrity]] of a platform during boot time. In this context, "integrity" means "behaves as intended", and a "platform" is any computer device regardless of its [[operating system]]. This is to ensure that the [[boot process]] starts from a trusted combination of hardware and software, and continues until the operating system has fully booted and [[Application software|applications]] are running.
