CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 395

Which of the following BEST explains the function of TPM?

Answer options

• A. To provide hardware-based security features using unique keys
• B. To ensure platform confidentiality by storing security measurements
• C. To improve management of the OS Installations
• D. To implement encryption algorithms for hard drives

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is designed to provide hardware-based security features through the use of unique cryptographic keys. Option B, while related to security, focuses on confidentiality without mentioning the key management aspect. Options C and D do not accurately reflect the core functions of TPM, as they pertain to OS management and encryption algorithms, respectively.
