Protect your computing devices from unauthorized access, manipulation, and data theft.

Microsoft offers robust hardware-based security to protect sensitive user information stored on connected devices. Microsoft has integrated the OPTIGA™ Trusted Platform Module (TPM) from Infineon Technologies into its latest personal computing devices, including the new Surface Pro 4 tablet and its first proprietary laptop, the Surface Book.

A TPM is a dedicated security chip that stores sensitive information, such as keys, certificates, and passwords, separately from the main processor. This chip offers robust security features, protecting computing devices from unauthorized access, manipulation, and data theft. For example, keys and passwords for Microsoft's BitLocker drive encryption application are securely stored within the TPM.

Infineon is recognized as a global leader in providing security solutions for Trusted Computing (TC). Microsoft's personal computing devices feature the OPTIGA™ TPM SLB 9665, the industry's first certified security controller based on the latest TPM 2.0 standard.

This standard is defined by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), an international standards group with members including Intel and Google. The TPM 2.0 specification is based on cutting-edge encryption and security mechanisms, specifically designed to meet the needs of IoT devices with specialized security requirements, as well as mobile computing devices like laptops and tablets.
