1.12 Intel

Trusted Platform Module (Intel

TPM)

The Intel

Trusted Platform module (Intel

TPM) 1.2 is designed to enhance platform

security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today’s software by providing a

protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using both

hardware and software, the Intel TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their

most vulnerable stages—operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in

plain-text form. Intel TPM is designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform

authentication information from software-based attacks.

The Intel TPM 1.2 module on this board has been integrated into the Intel 82801JD

Controller Hub (ICH10D).

NOTE

The Intel TPM uses the coin-cell battery to maintain its monotonic counters. One major

function of the monotonic counters is for anti-replay protection of the internal Intel

TPM data. If the battery is removed or exhausted, the Intel TPM data will be deleted in

accordance to Trusted Computing Group guidelines. Refer to the TPM Quick Reference

and back-up Intel TPM keys and data before removing the coin-cell battery.
