The Gigabyte CTM012 TPM 2.0 module, SPI is a Trusted Platform Module designed to enhance the security of compatible Gigabyte motherboards. This module provides hardware-based encryption and identity verification.

Utilizing the TPM 2.0 standard (revision 1.59+), it is FIPS compliant, ensuring reliable cryptographic operations essential for protecting data and verifying user credentials. This is particularly valuable when using applications like Windows BitLocker and for secure online banking.

Key technical specifications:

• TPM Version: 2.0, compliant with the latest security standards.
• Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) with a 2 x 7 pin (14-pin) header, which is atypical compared to common 12-pin TPM modules.
• Cryptographic processor: Infineon SLB9672VU2.0, generating military-grade 2048-bit encryption keys.
• Dimensions: 20.32 mm × 14.73 mm, suitable for small form factor integration.
• Compatibility: Primarily with Gigabyte motherboards providing a TPM SPI header supporting TPM 2.0.
• Operating System Support: Compatible with Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 (32/64-bit), and Windows 10 (64-bit).

Functional benefits:

• Provides hardware-level security against software and physical attacks.
• Allows encryption of hard drives with Windows BitLocker.
• Supports device identity verification for secure online transactions.
• Facilitates compliance with enterprise-level security requirements through FIPS.

This compact, high-security microcontroller accessory is tailored for enterprise and advanced consumer applications.
