Trusted Platform Module Header

This header is used to connect a Trusted
Platform  Module  (TPM),  available  sepa-
rately from a third-party vendor. A TPM is a
security device that allows encryption and
authentication  of  hard  drives,  disallowing
access if the TPM associated with it is not
installed  in  the  system.  See  the  table  on

the right for pin definitions.
