Strategic Objectives
• Master the architecture of Trusted Platform Modules (TPM).
• Understand the physics of Silicon Root of Trust (RoT).
• Implement immutable identity through Physical Unclonable Functions.
• Defend against sophisticated physical and side-channel attacks.
The Core Challenge
Software-based security is inherently vulnerable to compromised operating systems and kernel-level exploits that bypass traditional encryption.
