This trend is increasingly making its way into embedded devices. Often as a measure to fulfill NIS2, EU Cyber Resilience Act or similar requirements. However, embedded systems present a vastly different threat model compared to desktops or servers, and TPMs often don’t deliver the level of security many developers assume. In this talk, David will demystify TPM functionality in embedded Linux environments. He will give a concise overview of security threats for embedded devices and where a TPM can and or where it cannot. Special focus will be put on using TPMs for disk encryption and integrity. The session will wrap up with a discussion of alternative approaches, other usage scenarios for TPMs, and how to make informed decisions when designing secure embedded systems.
