Key points to note on these P13769-001 HPE TPM2.0 Modules and their uses:-
This offering listed above, P13771-B21, is the OEM HPE option part number for the product described as Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Gen10 Plus Black Rivets Kit and is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions.
At its most basic, the TPM is a tiny chip on your computer’s motherboard, sometimes separate from the main CPU and memory.
It is a specialized chip that is designed to secure hardware with integrated cryptographic keys; helps prove a user's identity and authenticates their device. A TPM also helps provide security against threats like firmware and ransomware attacks.
They are used for digital rights management (DRM) to protect Windows-based systems and to enforce software licenses. They can also store passwords, certificates or encryption keys. TPM chips can be used with any major operating system and work best in conjunction with other security technologies, such as firewalls, antivirus software, smart cards and biometric verification.
The chip is located on a computer's motherboard as a dedicated processor. Cryptographic keys store Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption keys specific to the host system for hardware authentication.
Each TPM chip contains an RSA key pair called the Endorsement Key (EK). The pair is maintained inside the chip and cannot be accessed by software. The Storage Root Key is created when a user or administrator takes ownership of the system. This key pair is generated by the TPM based on the EK and an owner-specified password.
A second key, called an Attestation Identity Key (AIK), protects the device against unauthorized firmware and software modification by hashing critical sections of firmware and software before they are executed. When the system attempts to connect to the network, the hashes are sent to a server that verifies they match expected values. If any of the hashed components have been modified, the match fails, and the system cannot gain entry to the network.
Generally, any TPM will provide the following benefits:
- :: Generate, store and limit the use of cryptographic keys.
- :: Ensure platform integrity by using metrics that can detect changes to past configurations.
- :: Provide platform device authentication with TPM's RSA key.
- :: Mitigate firmware, ransomware, dictionary and phishing attacks.
- :: Protect digital media rights using DRM technology.
- :: Ensure software licenses are protected.

Some benefits of the improved TPM 2.0 explained
TPM 2.0 was created by TCG to better improve Trusted Platform Modules with new features. For example, the new algorithm interchangeability feature enables TPMs to use different algorithms in case one does not work against specific threats. Prior to this, TPM 1.2 was limited to using Secure Hash Algorithm 1.
Basic verification signatures were also improved with the added support of personal identification numbers and biometric and Global Positioning System data. Improved key management enables keys to now be handled for limited and conditional use.
The new and updated features of TPM 2.0 offer more flexibility, enabling the chip to be used in more resource-constrained devices. TPM 2.0 can run on new PCs on any version of Windows 10 for desktop and on Windows 11 devices that support TPMs.
