Encryption Tools for Data Security

• TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
  • Dedicated microcontroller for hardware-level security
  • Protects digital secrets through integrated cryptographic keys
  • Used in BitLocker drive encryption for Windows devices
  • Adds an extra layer of security against software attacks
• HSM (Hardware Security Module)
  • Physical device for safeguarding and managing digital keys
  • Ideal for mission-critical scenarios like financial transactions
  • Performs encryption operations in a tamper-proof environment
  • Ensures key security and regulatory compliance
• Key Management System
  • Manages, stores, distributes, and retires cryptographic keys
  • Centralized mechanism for key lifecycle management
  • Crucial for securing data and preventing unauthorized access
  • Automates key management tasks in complex environments
• Secure Enclaves
  • Coprocessor integrated into the main processor of some devices
  • Isolated from the main processor for secure data processing and storage
  • Safeguards sensitive data like biometric information
  • Enhances device security by preventing unauthorized access
