Progressive technological development has paved the way for the ever-increasing addition of multiple disparate devices. Devices that can connect to each other over a network, allowing them to communicate easily. Unfortunately, improving communication skills leads to a negative impact on information security. This harm is explained by the increased possibility of data loss and exploitation of vulnerabilities. In this article, we will seek to define one of these measures to ensure security; using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). We will also explore the strengths and vulnerabilities of the Trusted Platform Module as well as attacks against the TPM in both hardware and software terms. Background: The term Trusted Platform Module refers to a design pattern and the execution of said design pattern established by the Trust Computing Group. The Trusted Computer Group is a global organizational body comprised of several computer technology providers for the creation of industry hardware standards. The Trusted Computing Group establishes requirements and recommendations for the production of hardware items that can be implemented to improve the defensive capabilities of IT assets. These standards define sets of rules for mobile devices, desktop systems, laptops and servers, as well as network infrastructure constraints. Stipulations regarding application programming interfaces as well as protocols required to operate in a trusted computing state are also described.
