The NSC Integrated Trusted Platform Module 11 (TPM 11) is a security chip used in modern computing devices to provide hardware-based security functions, such as encryption, secure authentication, and trusted boot. It's typically used for protecting sensitive information such as encryption keys, passwords, and certificates. TPM chips are a key component in ensuring the security and integrity of a system, especially for features like BitLocker (full disk encryption in Windows) and Windows Hello (biometric and passwordless authentication).
In the context of NSC Integrated Trusted Platform Module 11, the "NSC" refers to the manufacturer (likely National Semiconductor, now a part of Texas Instruments), and TPM 11 refers to a specific version of the TPM standard, often aligned with the TPM 2.0 specification.
