Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 142

Which of the following is a strong security protection provided by Trusted Platform Module (TPM)?

Answer options

• A. Providing data integrity through digital signatures
• B. Creation of a secure kernel
• C. Separation of encryption keys from storage devices
• D. Reporting of system integrity

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights TPM's capability to keep encryption keys secure and separate from other storage devices, which enhances security. Options A and D are related to integrity but do not accurately describe TPM's primary function, while B refers to the kernel, which is not a direct feature of TPM.
