CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 11 ORDER A TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE (OPTIONAL)
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip (microcontroller) that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the platform (server). 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.
The TPM ordering information is listed in Table 18.
