Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and BitLocker Drive Encryption

Microsoft continues to work broadly across the industry to improve security and system integrity for platforms that run Windows. System designers and developers can take advantage of these enhancements when designing systems that run Microsoft Windows in order to provide the best possible customer experience.

Microsoft recommends that new system designs include support for Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption, which makes use of a Trusted Platform Module version 1.2 (TPM 1.2) to provide stronger data protection on systems running Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
