It's always seemed crazy to me that the TPMs are separate chips rather than being integrated with the CPU; at least in the same package if not on the same die.

It's always seemed crazy to me that the TPMs are separate chips rather than being integrated with the CPU; at least in the same package if not on the same die. That would make the bar for attacks like this much much higher.
- chronid 3y agoPlease no! When I last worked with physical servers we were replacing tpms all the time...
- repiret 3y agoIs that because you mismanaged their security features and locked yourself out but they were working as designed, or because they failed? If the latter, I think we can expect a higher quality bar from an integrated solution. If the former, well, I guess that’s just a security trade off.
- smcin 3y agoDo you mean due to failure (why?). Or else I assume you mean upgrading the firmware?
