Is it possible to hack a tpm chip

I saw a video once where they were producing security ic and when the dies were created there were a group of 32 connections left unconnected.

In the final stage those 32 connections were connected by a machine in a manner that made the internal key unique to that single chip. How will they ever find them lol? Why is protective foil still covering the heatsink in that image? Shiny, scratch-free heatsink ornaments? What has the hardware business come to…. Mike Szczys: Your continuing efforts to spellcheck the posts are appreciated. Well there goes all your security out the window. This is just a side channel attack just like with DRM dongles..

Then they may consider using multiple layers of better total practices. Like simple prevention of any access to any devices holding risky data. All we can do is report excellent work like the TPM breach in a responsible fashion! Well, then you risk losing all claim to being of good ethics. And by extension that risks all legit Hackerdom being tarred as indefensible criminals.. Think it over damned carefully eh? I have been doing crypto security for years. I know of only ONE perfect tried and true crypto system.

One time pads. Even then, if you use them incorrectly, they will even be cracked. So no matter what you use, it comes down to following correct protocols. Pretty damn sure that if someone is able to come in, take your chip apart, that the actual breaking of this crypto system is the LEAST of your problems.

Your physical security of your information is paramount, even to the security of your crypto hardware, or software. Might want to call Schlage, and someone to watch the place a little bit better. If you do this, then the hacking of the chip and the cracking of the crypto is going to be beyond the capabilities of most. There simply is no excuse for it. There is nothing wrong with this 7yr old system. I don't play games. It's used for Internet, photo editing and Office.

You don't need a recent system for that kind of use. It perfectly fits my needs. I tried the registry patch, it does not work. Honestly,I would expect Windows 11 to work on any computer with Windows 10 installed and working on it Since 11,is mostly Win 10 with additions to try and force people to buy new computer. There's a limit to how long you can keep the requirements as low as old versions - Eventually the developers want to use newer technologies that aren't available in the old processors.

Just wanted to report that the addition of the registry keys failed to work on two machines - a Lenovo W laptop and an Intel IK desktop. Stupid move by Microsoft in the middle of a pandemic. There's financial and social upheaval all over the place, and this is their thinking?

Lawrence: You wrote: It is important to note that disabling these features could affect the performance or stability of Windows 11, so be sure to only use them on a virtual machine or test box that are you are ok with working in an unsupported environment. Did you by any chance mean "in a non-production environment"? Or am I just reading it wrong? I highly suspect that TPM is intended for digital right management. TPM behaves like a "safe" which can only be "unlocked" only by correct combination of hardware and software.

Even the owner of the computer cannot force the safe to unlock itself without permission of software. Think, if you have a song bought from some online store. The online store revoked your access for whatever reason. Now you are locked out of your music. Sorry the TPM chain of trust identified broken software certificate and refuse to decrypt. Use an out-dated software player with known loophole?

Sorry the remote attestation performed by server of online store identified your old software and refuse to hand the decryption key. Make-your-own TPM with "friendly" feature? Sorry your mocked TPM do not have require certificate and is considered "insecure". The remote server won't give you decryption key. Also, if TPM can prevent anything virus or trojan to read your Word document, it can also prevent any opensource application from doing so.

As for security. A "safe" that can lock it's owner away anytime by software companies do more harm than good. Maybe Linux or something. I haven't run Windows outside of a VM since The music online store refuse your connection because remote attestation finds out that you are using "insecure" operating system. The TPM refuse to decrypt your music because your Linux distro and music player do not have digital certificate signed by "secure" vendors.

You decided to use VM to emulate TPM and install Windows, however you still cannot play your musice because the software TPM lack necessary certificate signed by "secure" vendors and is considered insecure and compromised. The "little" digital stores you found do not include top-ranked popular contents of current music and video industry. Once intalled w11 if you go to windows update, it is asking again for the tpm module, so we can get into w11 but … How can we update once we are in w11?

Thanks, and regards to everyone! There is an extremely easy way to install Win11 anywhere you can install Win10 that I found this week on another site. You start with the ISO files for both versions.
