D)HSM

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a microchip on the motherboard of a computer that provides cryptographic services and is specifically designed to provide hardware-based security. SEDs (Self-Encrypting Drives) and FDE (Full Disk Encryption) are disk encryption technologies and HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a separate physical device used to manage and securely store cryptographic keys. While they can all improve security, they are not directly related to the use of a chip on the motherboard for cryptographic services, making C the best choice.
