As embedded systems become increasingly interconnected, the demand for robust platform security and integrity has surged. Trusted Platform Modules (TPM), currently in version 2.0, are becoming increasingly beneficial for enhancing security in embedded systems. TPMs provide hardware-backed mechanisms for critical functions such as random number generation, cryptographic key generation, key binding and data sealing.
This presentation will explore the capabilities of TPM 2.0, focusing practical use cases and the integration of TPM 2.0 within Yocto, including:
- Device identification
- Supporting secure boot mechanisms to establish a reliable chain of trust
- Encrypting user data without the need for user passwords
- Managing application credentials securely
