Encryption Technologies (sec +)

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

a dedicated hardware chip that enhances cybersecurity by providing security functions like generating and storing cryptographic keys, authenticating the platform, and ensuring system integrity

Persistent memory

Keys that have been created and burned into a TPM that are unique

Versatile memory

Temporarily holds computations, intermediate keys, or other runtime data

Hardware Security Module (HSM)

a physical device that securely generates, stores, and manages cryptographic keys

Key Management System (KMS)

a system that securely creates, stores, distributes, and manages cryptographic keys

Secure enclave

a protected area of memory or a processor that isolates sensitive data and code from the rest of the system
