TPM 1.2
Noun | /ˌtiː piː ˈem wʌn pɔɪnt tuː/
The second-generation Trusted Platform Module specification released in 2003, providing basic hardware-based security functions for computing devices. Serves as the predecessor to TPM 2.0 with more limited cryptographic capabilities.
Key Features:
- Supports RSA and SHA-1 algorithms
- Provides secure key storage
- Enables basic device authentication
- Limited command set compared to TPM 2.0
Example:
“Older corporate laptops with TPM 1.2 can run BitLocker but may need upgrades for Windows 11 compatibility.”
