Cisco UCSX-TPM-002C-D Trusted Platform Module 2.0, FIPS140-2 Compliant, UCS M7 Server

Overview

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip or microcontroller that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the platform or Cisco UCS X210c M7 Compute Node. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer computing in all environments.
