TPMs and the Linux Kernel - Unlocking a Better Path to Hardware Security

Explore hardware security fundamentals through a conference talk from DefCamp 2024 where Cloudflare's Linux expert Ignat Korchagin delves into Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) and their integration with the Linux kernel. Learn about the critical intersection of hardware security mechanisms and kernel-level implementations while gaining insights from one of the most significant cybersecurity conferences in Central and Eastern Europe. Discover how TPMs enhance system security, understand their implementation challenges, and examine the evolving landscape of hardware-based security solutions in Linux environments. Delivered at an event that attracted over 2,000 participants from 50 countries, including IT operations specialists, security engineers, and software professionals, this presentation offers valuable perspectives on advancing hardware security through kernel-level innovations.
