The ASUS TPM‑M R2.0 is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 hardware security chip designed to add standardized, hardware‑based cryptographic security to compatible ASUS motherboards via a 14‑1‑pin LPC header. It provides a secure environment to store cryptographic keys, digital certificates, passwords, and other sensitive data, enabling features such as secure boot, disk encryption (e.g., BitLocker), platform attestation, and enhanced authentication that help protect against unauthorized access and tampering.
