This is a Linux kernel device driver to enable the TPM chip as described by Trusted Computing Group specifications. The TPM chip will enable you to use hardware to securely store and protect your keys and personal data. The Trusted Comuting Group specifications also describes a library for application access to the TPM funcitonality. A Linux implementation of this Trusted Software Stack (TSS) library is TrouSerS.
