There is a great deal of misunderstanding, and some misinformation, about the
Trusted
Platform Module (TPM); to combat this, Debian developer Jonathan
McDowell would like to clear the air and help users understand what it
is good for, as well as what it's not. At DebConf25 in Brest, France,
he delivered a
talk about TPMs that explained what they are, why people might be
interested in using them, and how users might do so on a Debian
system.
