Its purpose is to protect encryption keys, user credentials, and other sensitive data behind a hardware barrier so that malware and attackers can&#8217;t access or tamper with that data.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For more information, read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/6\/25\/22550376\/microsoft-windows-11-tpm-chips-requirement-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">original story<\/a> in The Verge<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft&#8217;s Windows 11 OS will require the use of TPM 2.0 chips for security purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[62,224],"class_list":["post-7565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-security","tag-microsoft","tag-windows"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7565"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7615,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7565\/revisions\/7615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
