Supermicro Hardware security chip

Supermicro's Trusted Platform Module AOM-TPM-9665H(-S/-C) with TCG 2.0 stores information such as keys, passwords, and digital certificates, providing additional security against external software attacks and physical theft of systems.

TPM implements a root-of-trust that initiates during the system boot process to establish a trust level by gathering measurements about the running environment and operating system for trusted reporting. The security of the entire system relies on the protection and secrecy of the cryptographic system, particularly against unauthorized access or manipulation of key material.

Supermicro's AOM-TPM-9665H(-S/-C) enables a computing system to run applications more securely, create a more secure remote access environment, and perform electronic transactions and digital communications safely.
