Physical Presence Interface (PPI) Bypass for Clear Commands By default, the PPI Bypass for Clear Commands option is disabled. For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the PPI Bypass for Clear Commands option disabled. Attestation Enable The Attestation Enable option controls the endorsement hierarchy of TPM. Disabling the Attestation Enable option prevents TPM from being used to digitally sign certificates. By default, the Attestation Enable option is enabled. For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Attestation Enable option enabled. NOTE: When disabled, this feature may cause compatibility issues or loss of functionality in some operating systems. Key Storage Enable The Key Storage Enable option controls the storage hierarchy of TPM, which is used to store digital keys. Disabling the Key Storage Enable option restricts the ability of TPM to store owner's data. By default, the Key Storage Enable option is enabled. For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the Key Storage Enable option enabled. NOTE: When disabled, this feature may cause compatibility issues or loss of functionality in some operating systems. SHA-256 Allows you to control the hashing algorithm that is used by the TPM.

For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the SHA-256 option enabled. Clear When enabled, the Clear option clears information that is stored in the TPM after exiting the computer's BIOS. This option returns to the disabled state when the computer restarts.

TPM State Enables or disables the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This is the normal operating state for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) when you want to use its complete array of capabilities. By default, the TPM State option is enabled. Intel® Platform Trust Technology Intel PTT is a firmware-based Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) device that is part of Intel chipsets. It provides credential storage and key management that can replace the equivalent functionality of a discrete TPM chip.
