"Binding" encrypts data using the TPM endorsement key, a unique RSA key burned into the chip during its production, or another
trusted key descended from it.
"Sealing" encrypts data in similar manner to binding, but in addition specifies a state in which the TPM must be in order for the
data to be decrypted (unsealed).
Software can use a Trusted Platform Module to authenticate hardware devices. Since each TPM chip has a unique and secret
RSA key burned in as it is produced, it is capable of performing platform authentication. For example, it can be used to verify
that a system seeking access is the expected system.
