Security Menu
The Security menu contains the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) setting.
TPM is a component on your computer’s mainboard that is specifically
designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities
of today’s software by providing a protected space for key operations and
other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and software, TPM
protects encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages –
operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form.
TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform
authentication information from software-based attacks.
