Trusted Platform Module (TPM, also known as ISO/IEC 11889) is an international standard for a secure cryptoprocessor, a dedicated microcontroller designed to secure hardware through integrated cryptographic keys.
History[]
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) was conceived by a computer industry consortium called Trusted Computing Group (TCG), and was standardized by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2009 as ISO/IEC 11889.[1]
When a new revision is released it is broken down into 3 parts by the Trusted Computing Group. Each part consists of a PDF that makes up the bible of the new TPM specification.
- Part 1 – Design Principles
- Part 2 – Structures of the TPM
- Part 3 – Commands
TCG continues to revise the TPM specifications keeping it up with current needs. TPM Main Specification Version 1.2 was finalized on March 3, 2011 completing its revision.[2] TCG has moved over to TPM Library Specification 2.0 with its latest edition published in 2019.[3]
Overview[]
Trusted Platform Module provides
- A hardware random number generator[4][5]
- Facilities for the secure generation of cryptographic keys for limited uses.
- Remote attestation: Creates a nearly unforgeable hash key summary of the hardware and software configuration. The software in charge of hashing the configuration data determines the extent of the summary. This allows a third party to verify that the software has not been changed.
- Binding: Encrypts data using the TPM bind key, a unique RSA key descended from a storage key[clarification needed].[6]
- Sealing: Similar to binding, but in addition, specifies the TPM state[7] for the data to be decrypted (unsealed).[8]
- Other Trusted Computing functions for the data to be decrypted (unsealed).[9]
Computer programs can use a TPM to authenticate hardware devices, since each TPM chip has a unique and secret Endorsement Key (EK) burned in as it is produced. Pushing the security down to the hardware level provides more protection than a software-only solution.[10]
Uses[]
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) specifies that "new computer assets (e.g., server, desktop, laptop, thin client, tablet, smartphone, personal digital assistant, mobile phone) procured to support DoD will include a TPM version 1.2 or higher where required by DISA STIGs and where such technology is available." DoD anticipates that TPM is to be used for device identification, authentication, encryption, and device integrity verification.[11]
Platform integrity[]
The primary scope of TPM is to ensure the integrity of a platform. In this context, "integrity" means "behave 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 applications are running.
When TPM is used, the firmware and the operating system are responsible for ensuring integrity.
For example, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) can use TPM to form a root of trust: The TPM contains several Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) that allow secure storage and reporting of security-relevant metrics. These metrics can be used to detect changes to previous configurations and decide how to proceed. Good examples can be found in Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS),[12] BitLocker and PrivateCore vCage memory encryption. (See below.)
Another example of platform integrity via TPM is in the use of Microsoft Office 365 licensing and Outlook Exchange.[13]
An example of TPM use for platform integrity is the Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), which creates a chain of trust. It could remotely attest that a computer is using the specified hardware and software.[14]
Disk encryption[]
Full disk encryption utilities, such as dm-crypt and BitLocker, can use this technology to protect the keys used to encrypt the computer's storage devices and provide integrity authentication for a trusted boot pathway that includes firmware and boot sector.[15]
Other uses and concerns[]
Any application can use a TPM chip for:
- Digital rights management (DRM)
- Windows Defender
- Windows Domain logon[16]
- Protection and enforcement of software licenses
- Prevention of cheating in online games[17]
Other uses exist, some of which give rise to privacy concerns. The "physical presence" feature of TPM addresses some of these concerns by requiring BIOS-level confirmation for operations such as activating, deactivating, clearing or changing ownership of TPM by someone who is physically present at the console of the machine.[18][19]

Starting in 2006, many new laptops have been sold with a built-in TPM chip. In the future, this concept could be co-located on an existing motherboard chip in computers, or any other device where the TPM facilities could be employed, such as a cellphone. On a PC, either the LPC bus or the SPI bus is used to connect to the TPM chip.
The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has certified TPM chips manufactured by Infineon Technologies, Nuvoton, and STMicroelectronics,[20] having assigned TPM vendor IDs to Advanced Micro Devices, Atmel, Broadcom, IBM, Infineon, Intel, Lenovo, National Semiconductor, Nationz Technologies, Nuvoton, Qualcomm, Rockchip, Standard Microsystems Corporation, STMicroelectronics, Samsung, Sinosun, Texas Instruments, and Winbond.[21]
There are five different types of TPM 2.0 implementations (listed in order from most to least secure):[22][23]
- Discrete TPMs are dedicated chips that implement TPM functionality in their own tamper resistant semiconductor package. They are theoretically the most secure type of TPM because the routines implemented in hardware should be[vague] more resistant to bugs[clarification needed] versus routines implemented in software, and their packages are required to implement some tamper resistance.
- Integrated TPMs are part of another chip. While they use hardware that resists software bugs, they are not required to implement tamper resistance. Intel has integrated TPMs in some of its chipsets.
- Firmware TPMs (fTPMs) are firmware-based (e.g. UEFI) solutions that run in a CPU's trusted execution environment. Intel, AMD and Qualcomm have implemented firmware TPMs.
- Hypervisor TPMs (vTPMs) are virtual TPMs provided by and rely on hypervisors, in an isolated execution environment that is hidden from the software running inside virtual machines to secure their code from the software in the virtual machines. They can provide a security level comparable to a firmware TPM.
- Software TPMs are software emulators of TPMs that run with no more protection than a regular program gets within an operating system. They depend entirely on the environment that they run in, so they provide no more security than what can be provided by the normal execution environment, and they are vulnerable to their own software bugs and attacks that are penetrating the normal execution environment.[citation needed] They are useful for development purposes.
The official TCG reference implementation of the TPM 2.0 Specification has been developed by Microsoft. It is licensed under BSD License and the source code is available on GitHub.[24] Microsoft provides a Visual Studio solution and Linux autotools build scripts.
In 2018, Intel open-sourced its Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM2) software stack with support for Linux and Microsoft Windows.[25] The source code is hosted on GitHub and licensed under BSD License.[26][27]
Infineon funded the development of an open source TPM middleware that complies with the Software Stack (TSS) Enhanced System API (ESAPI) specification of the TCG.[28] It was developed by Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT).[29]
IBM's Software TPM 2.0 is an implementation of the TCG TPM 2.0 specification. It is based on the TPM specification Parts 3 and 4 and source code donated by Microsoft. It contains additional files to complete the implementation. The source code is hosted on SourceForge[30] and GitHub[31] and licensed under BSD License.
TPM 1.2 vs TPM 2.0[]
While TPM 2.0 addresses many of the same use cases and has similar features, the details are different. TPM 2.0 is not backward compatible with TPM 1.2.[32][33][34]
Specification | TPM 1.2 | TPM 2.0 |
---|---|---|
Architecture | The one-size-fits-all specification consists of three parts.[2] | A complete specification consists of a platform-specific specification which references a common four-part TPM 2.0 library.[35][3] Platform-specific specifications define what parts of the library are mandatory, optional, or banned for that platform; and detail other requirements for that platform.[35] Platform-specific specifications include PC Client,[36] mobile,[37] and Automotive-Thin.[38] |
Algorithms | SHA-1 and RSA are required.[39] AES is optional.[39] Triple DES was once an optional algorithm in earlier versions of TPM 1.2,[40] but has been banned in TPM 1.2 version 94.[41] The MGF1 hash-based mask generation function that is defined in PKCS#1 is required.[39] | The PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP) Specification requires SHA-1 and SHA-256 for hashes; RSA, ECC using the Barreto-Naehrig 256-bit curve and the NIST P-256 curve for public-key cryptography and asymmetric digital signature generation and verification; HMAC for symmetric digital signature generation and verification; 128-bit AES for symmetric-key algorithm; and the MGF1 hash-based mask generation function that is defined in PKCS#1 are required by the TCG PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP) Specification.[42] Many other algorithms are also defined but are optional.[43] Note that Triple DES was readded into TPM 2.0, but with restrictions some values in any 64-bit block.[44] |
Crypto Primitives | A random number generator, a public-key cryptographic algorithm, a cryptographic hash function, a mask generation function, digital signature generation and verification, and Direct Anonymous Attestation are required.[39] Symmetric-key algorithms and exclusive or are optional.[39] Key generation is also required.[45] | A random number generator, public-key cryptographic algorithms, cryptographic hash functions, symmetric-key algorithms, digital signature generation and verification, mask generation functions, exclusive or, and ECC-based Direct Anonymous Attestation using the Barreto-Naehrig 256-bit curve are required by the TCG PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP) Specification.[42] The TPM 2.0 common library specification also requires key generation and key derivation functions.[46] |
Hierarchy | One (storage) | Three (platform, storage and endorsement) |
Root Keys | One (SRK RSA-2048) | Multiple keys and algorithms per hierarchy |
Authorization | HMAC, PCR, locality, physical presence | Password, HMAC, and policy (which covers HMAC, PCR, locality, and physical presence). |
NVRAM | Unstructured data | Unstructured data, Counter, Bitmap, Extend, PIN pass and fail |
The TPM 2.0 policy authorization includes the 1.2 HMAC, locality, physical presence, and PCR. It adds authorization based on an asymmetric digital signature, indirection to another authorization secret, counters and time limits, NVRAM values, a particular command or command parameters, and physical presence. It permits the ANDing and ORing of these authorization primitives to construct complex authorization policies.[47]
Reception[]
TCG has faced resistance to the deployment of this technology in some areas, where some authors see possible uses not specifically related to Trusted Computing, which may raise privacy concerns. The concerns include the abuse of remote validation of software (where the manufacturer—and not the user who owns the computer system—decides what software is allowed to run) and possible ways to follow actions taken by the user being recorded in a database, in a manner that is completely undetectable to the user.[48]
The TrueCrypt disk encryption utility does not support TPM. The original TrueCrypt developers were of the opinion that the exclusive purpose of the TPM is "to protect against attacks that require the attacker to have administrator privileges, or physical access to the computer". The attacker who has physical or administrative access to a computer can circumvent TPM, e.g., by installing a hardware keystroke logger, by resetting TPM, or by capturing memory contents and retrieving TPM-issued keys. As such, the condemning text goes so far as to claim that TPM is entirely redundant.[49]
According to Richard Stallman in 2015, "there are reasons to think that it will not be feasible to use [TPM] for DRM".[50]
Attacks[]
In 2010, Christopher Tarnovsky presented an attack against TPMs at Black Hat Briefings, where he claimed to be able to extract secrets from a single TPM. He was able to do this after 6 months of work by inserting a probe and spying on an internal bus for the Infineon SLE 66 CL PC.[51][52]
In 2015, as part of the Snowden revelations, it was revealed that in 2010 a US CIA team claimed at an internal conference to have carried out a differential power analysis attack against TPMs that was able to extract secrets.[53][54]
In 2018, a design flaw in the TPM 2.0 specification for the static root of trust for measurement (SRTM) was reported (CVE-2018-6622). It allows an adversary to reset and forge platform configuration registers which are designed to securely hold measurements of software that are used for bootstrapping a computer.[55] Fixing it requires hardware-specific firmware patches.[55] An attacker abuses power interrupts and TPM state restores to trick TPM into thinking that it is running on non-tampered components.[56]
Main Trusted Boot (tboot) distributions before November 2017 are affected by a dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM) attack CVE-2017-16837, which affects computers running on Intel's Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT) for the boot-up routine.[56]
In case of physical access, computers with TPM are vulnerable to cold boot attacks as long as the system is on or can be booted without a passphrase from shutdown or hibernation, which is the default setup for Windows computers with BitLocker full disk encryption.[57]
In 2021, the Dolos Group showed an attack on a discrete TPM, where the TPM chip itself had some tamper resistance, but the other endpoints of its communication bus did not. They read a full-disk-encryption key as it was transmitted across the motherboard, and used it to decrypt the laptop's SSD.[58]
2017 weak key generation controversy[]
In October 2017, it was reported that a code library developed by Infineon, which had been in widespread use in its TPMs, contained a vulnerability, known as ROCA, which generated weak RSA key pairs that allowed private keys to be inferred from public keys. As a result, all systems depending upon the privacy of such weak keys are vulnerable to compromise, such as identity theft or spoofing.[59]
Cryptosystems that store encryption keys directly in the TPM without blinding could be at particular risk to these types of attacks, as passwords and other factors would be meaningless if the attacks can extract encryption secrets.[60]
Infineon has released firmware updates for its TPMs to manufacturers who have used them.[61]
Availability[]
Currently, a TPM is used by nearly all PC and notebook manufacturers.
TPM[]
The TPM is implemented by several vendors:
- Infineon provides both TPM chips and TPM software, which are delivered as OEM versions with new computers as well as separately by Infineon for products with TPM technology which comply with TCG standards. For example, Infineon licensed TPM management software to Broadcom Corp. in 2004.[62]
- Microchip (formerly Atmel) manufactures TPM devices that it claims to be compliant to the Trusted Platform Module specification version 1.2 revision 116 and offered with several interfaces (LPC, SPI, and I2C), modes (FIPS 140-2 certified and standard mode), temperature grades (commercial and industrial), and packages (TSSOP and QFN).[63][64] Their TPMs support PCs and embedded devices.[63] They also provides TPM development kits to support integration of its TPM devices into various embedded designs.[65]
- Nuvoton Technology Corporation provides TPM devices for PC applications. Nuvoton also provides TPM devices for embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) applications via I2C and SPI host interfaces. Nuvoton's TPM complies with Common Criteria (CC) with assurance level EAL 4 augmented with ALC_FLR.1, AVA_VAN.4 and ALC_DVS.2, FIPS 140-2 level 2 with Physical Security and EMI/EMC level 3 and Trusted Computing Group Compliance requirements, all supported within a single device.[66]
- STMicroelectronics has provided TPMs for PC platforms and embedded systems since 2005. The product offering [67] includes discrete devices with several interfaces supporting Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and I²C and different qualification grades (consumer, industrial and automotive). The TPM products are Common Criteria (CC) certified EAL4+ augmented with ALC_FLR.1 and AVA_VAN.5, FIPS 140-2 level 2 certified with physical security level 3 and also Trusted Computing Group (TCG) certified.
There are also hybrid types; for example, TPM can be integrated into an Ethernet controller, thus eliminating the need for a separate motherboard component.[68][69]
Virtual TPM[]
- Google Compute Engine offers virtualized TPMs (vTPMs) as part of Google Cloud's Shielded VMs product.[70]
- The libtpms library provides software emulation of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0). It targets the integration of TPM functionality into hypervisors, primarily into Qemu.[71]
Operating Systems[]
The Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) has been supported by the Linux kernel since version 3.20.[72][73][74]
Platforms[]
- Google includes TPMs in Chromebooks as part of their security model.[75]
- Oracle ships TPMs in their X- and T-Series Systems such as T3 or T4 series of servers.[76] Support is included in Solaris 11.[77]
- In 2006, with the introduction of first Macintosh models with Intel processors, Apple started to ship Macs with TPM. Apple never provided an official driver, but there was a port under GPL available.[78] Apple has not shipped a computer with TPM since 2006.[79]
- In 2011, Taiwanese manufacturer MSI launched its Windpad 110W tablet featuring an AMD CPU and Infineon Security Platform TPM, which ships with controlling software version 3.7. The chip is disabled by default but can be enabled with the included, pre-installed software.[80]
Virtualization[]
- VMware ESXi hypervisor has supported TPM since 4.x, and from 5.0 it is enabled by default.[81][82]
- Xen hypervisor has support of virtualized TPMs. Each guest gets its own unique, emulated, software TPM.[83]
- KVM, combined with QEMU, has support for virtualized TPMs. As of 2012, it supports passing through the physical TPM chip to a single dedicated guest. QEMU 2.11 released on December 2017 also provides emulated TPMs to guests.[84]
Software[]
- Microsoft operating systems Windows Vista and later use the chip in conjunction with the included disk encryption component named BitLocker. Microsoft had announced that from January 1, 2015 all computers will have to be equipped with a TPM 2.0 module in order to pass Windows 8.1 hardware certification.[85] However, in a December 2014 review of the Windows Certification Program this was instead made an optional requirement. However, TPM 2.0 is required for connected standby systems.[86] Virtual machines running on Hyper-V can have their own virtual TPM module starting with Windows 10 1511 and Windows Server 2016.[87] Windows 11 has TPM 2.0 listed as a minimum system requirement; the operating system cannot be installed unless the module is present and enabled. This has led to confusion as many motherboards do not have TPM support at all, require a compatible TPM module to be physically installed onto the motherboard, or have a built-in TPM on the CPU firmware or hardware level that is disabled by default which requires changing settings in the computer's UEFI to enable.[88] Microsoft Windows includes two TPM related commands: tpmtool, a utility that can be used to retrieve information about the TPM, and tpmvscmgr, a command-line tool that allows creating and deleting TPM virtual smart cards on a computer.[89][90]
Endorsement Keys[]
TPM Endorsement Keys (EKs) are asymmetric key pairs unique to each TPM. They use the RSA and ECC algorithms. The TPM manufacturer usually provisions endorsement key certificates in TPM non-volatile memory. The certificates assert that the TPM is authentic. Starting with TPM 2.0, the certificates are in X.509 format.
These manufacturers typically provides their Certificate Authority root (and sometimes intermediate) certificates on their web sites.

- Infineon[95]
- Intel [96][97]
- NationZ [98][99][100][101]

- ST Micro[107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116]
TPM software libraries[]
To utilize a TPM, the user needs a software library that communicates with the TPM and provides a friendlier API than the raw TPM communication. Currently, there are several such open-source TPM 2.0 libraries. Some of them also support TPM 1.2, but mostly TPM 1.2 chips are now deprecated and modern development is focused on TPM 2.0.
Typically, a TPM library provides API with one-to-one mappings to TPM commands. The TCG specification calls this layer the System API(SAPI). This way the user has more control over the TPM operations, however the complexity is high. Therefore, most libraries also offer rich API to invoke complex TPM operations and hide some of the complexity. The TCG specification call these two layers Enhanced System API(ESAPI) and Feature API(FAPI).
There is currently only one stack that follows the TCG specification. All the other available open-source TPM libraries use their own form of richer API.
TPM Libraries | API | TPM 2.0 | TPM 1.2 | Attestation server or example | Microsoft Windows |
Linux | Bare metal |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
tpm2-tss[117] | SAPI, ESAPI and FAPI from the TCG specification |
Yes | No | No, but there is a separate project* | Yes | Yes | Maybe** |
ibmtss[118][119] | 1:1 mapping to TPM commands + rich API (mild layer on top) |
Yes | Partial | Yes, "IBM ACS"[120][121] | Yes | Yes | No |
go-tpm[122] | 1:1 mapping to TPM commands + rich API (mild layer on top) |
Yes | Partial | Yes, "Go-attestation"[123] | Yes | Yes | No |
wolfTPM[124] | 1:1 mapping to TPM commands + rich API (wrappers) |
Yes | No | Yes, examples are inside the library | Yes | Yes | Yes |
TSS.MSR[125] | 1:1 mapping to TPM commands + rich API (wrappers) |
Yes | No | Yes, examples are inside the library | Yes | Yes*** | No |
(*) There is a separate project called "CHARRA" by Fraunhofer[126] that uses the tpm2-tss library for Remote Attestation. The other stacks have accompanying attestation servers or directly include examples for attestation. IBM offer their open-source Remote Attestation Server called "IBM ACS" on Sourceforge and Google have "Go-Attestation" available on GitHub, while "wolfTPM" offers time and local attestation examples directly in its open-source code, also on GitHub.
(**) There is an application note[127] about an example project for the AURIX 32-bit SoC using the tpm2-tss library.
(***) Requires additional libraries (dotnet) to run on Linux.
These TPM libraries are sometimes also called TPM stacks, because they provide the interface for the developer or user to interact with the TPM. As seen from the table, the TPM stacks abstract the operating system and transport layer, so the user could migrate one application between platforms. For example, by using TPM stack API the user would interact the same way with a TPM, regardless if the physical chip is connected over SPI, I2C or LPC interface to the Host system.
Developer communities[]
The increasing relevance of computer security and especially hardware-backed security has made the potential use of TPM popular among developers and users. There are several developer communities around using a TPM.
TPM.dev[]
This community[128] has a forum-like platform for sharing information and asking questions. In the platform, one finds articles and video tutorials from community members and guests. There is a regular weekly online call. The main focus of this community is lowering the barrier to adoption of TPM and existing TPM Software Libraries. Specific focus is put on Remote Attestation and trusted applications.
tpm2-software[]
This community[129] is centered around the use of TPM with the tpm2-tss library. The community engages in developing it and other TPM 2.0 related software that can be found at their GitHub account.[130] There also is a tutorials and external section with links to conference talks and presentations.
IBM TSS[]
Nominally addressing the IBM TSS[131][132] most discussions relate to more general application development.
IBM Software TPM[]
Nominally addressing the IBM implementation of a software TPM 2.0,[133][134] most discussions relate to more general application development.
Keylime Project[]
Open Source project that Uses TPM 2.0 for boot and runtime attestation of computers and devices.[135][136]
Linux Security Mailing List[]
linux-integrity@vger.kernel.org is a high volume mailing list. It is more appropriate for TPM device driver issues than general HOWTO questions.
Restriction law[]
Chinese (in the past)[citation needed] and Russian regulations restrict TPM modules access.[137]

Our definition of the RNG allows implementation of a Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) algorithm. However, on devices where a hardware source of entropy is available, a PRNG need not be implemented. This specification refers to both RNG and PRNG implementations as the RNG mechanism. There is no need to distinguish between the two at the TCG specification level.
