What is the Intel(R) Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Driver?
The Intel(R) Trusted Platform Module (TPM) driver is software that allows your computer's TPM chip to work properly with the Windows operating system. TPM is a hardware-based security feature integrated into many modern motherboards, which provides secure encryption, secure boot, and protection for sensitive data such as passwords and encryption keys. It helps to enhance the security of your device by enabling features like BitLocker (full disk encryption), Windows Hello, and Device Guard.
Intel's TPM driver ensures that the hardware component (the TPM chip) and Windows can communicate properly to offer these security functions.
