Security
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
PPI Bypass
for Clear Commands
option disabled.
Attestation Enable
The
Attestation Enable
option controls the endorsement hierarchy of TPM.
Disabling the
Attestation Enable
option prevents TPM from being used to
digitally-sign certificates.
By default, the
Attestation Enable
option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
Attestation
Enable
option enabled.
NOTE:
When disabled, this feature may cause compatibility issues or loss of
functionality in some operating systems.
Key Storage Enable
The
Key Storage Enable
option controls the storage hierarchy of TPM, which is
used to store digital keys. Disabling the
Key Storage Enable
option restricts the
ability of TPM to store owner's data.
By default, the
Key Storage Enable
option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
Key Storage
Enable
option enabled.
NOTE:
When disabled, this feature may cause compatibility issues or loss of
functionality in some operating systems.
SHA-256
Allows you control the usage of SHA-256 by TPM. When enabled, the BIOS and
TPM use the SHA-256 hash algorithm to extend measurements into the TPM
PCRs during BIOS boot. When disabled, the BIOS and TPM use the SHA-1 hash
algorithm to extend measurements into the TPM PCRs during BIOS boot.
By default, the
SHA-256
option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
SHA-256
option enabled.
Clear
When enabled, the
Clear
option clears information stored in the TPM after
exiting the system's BIOS. This option returns to disabled state when the system
restarts.
By default, the
Clear
option is disabled.
Dell Technologies recommends enabling the
Clear
option only when TPM data is
required to be cleared.
TPM State
Enables or disables the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This is the normal
operating state for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) when you want to use its
complete array of capabilities.
By default, the
TPM State
option is enabled.
Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT)
Intel PTT is a firmware-based Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) device that is
part of Intel chipsets. It provides credential storage and key management that
can replace the equivalent functionality of a discrete TPM chip.
PTT On
Enables or disables the Intel PTT option.
By default, the
PTT On
option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
PTT On
option enabled.
Physical Presence Interface (PPI) Bypass
for Clear Commands
The PPI Bypass for Clear Commands option allows the operating system to
manage certain aspects of PTT. When enabled, you are not prompted to confirm
changes to the PTT configuration.
By default, the
PPI Bypass for Clear Commands
option is disabled.
