If you follow Windows development even casually, you already know this fact that drivers are the silent backbone of the operating system. They control your cameras, your network card, your USB ports, your audio devices… basically everything that makes your PC more than a box with a screen. And when drivers go wrong, they really go wrong. Microsoft has obviously had its share.

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a microcontroller designed to increase the levels of protection for computers, smartphones, and other devices through built-in security support that offers the necessary cryptographic operations. TPMs are unlike other software-based security; they provide a hardware-bound security, thus, it becomes nearly impossible for the attacker to tamper with the protected keys and information stored within the TPM.

Software has become the foundation of numerous companies and institutions worldwide, which has made the protection of source code critical in today’s digital environment. Code security refers to such measures that are put in place to guard this asset against fraudsters, theft, and attacks among others.
