TPM v1.2 vs 2.0
Date: 2021-09-07 | Length: 2 hrs | Episode page at twit.tv

About this episode

TPM 1.2 and 2.0 both anchor Secure Boot by protecting secrets, measuring boot state, sealing keys, and supporting attestation, device identity, NVRAM, and health checks. TPM 2.0 adds SHA-256, HMAC-256, elliptic-curve crypto, algorithm agility, better authorization, faster key loading, flexible management, and cryptographically named resources, but Windows 11 demands it unnecessarily.
