Tools
Tools in the realm of data security and encryption are instrumental in fortifying the protection of sensitive information and ensuring the integrity of digital interactions. This section defines four noteworthy tools, each with its unique purpose and significance. Let’s take a look:
- TPM: A TPM is a hardware-based security component integrated into computers and devices. It generates, stores, and manages cryptographic keys in a secure environment. A TPM ensures the integrity of system boot processes, offers hardware-based authentication, and supports encryption tasks. It’s used to enhance system security by safeguarding cryptographic keys and enabling secure device bootups.
- HSM: An HSM is a physical device designed to manage cryptographic keys and perform encryption and decryption operations. HSMs provide a highly secure environment for key storage and cryptographic operations, protecting sensitive data from both external and internal threats. They are...
