What piece of hardware on a computer’s motherboard generates encryption keys and only releases a part of the key so that decrypting a disk on a new piece of hardware is not possible?
D. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware component on a computer's motherboard that generates and stores encryption keys, providing additional security measures.
TPM works by creating encryption codes. Half of the encryption key is stored on the TPM chip and the other half is stored on the computer hard drive, so if the TPM chip is removed, the computer will not boot. Firmware such as Microsoft's BitLocker requires TPM.
