security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today’s software by providing a

NOTE
The Intel TPM uses the coin-cell battery to maintain its monotonic counters. One major
function of the monotonic counters is for anti-replay protection of the internal Intel
TPM data. If the battery is removed or exhausted, the Intel TPM data will be deleted in
accordance to Trusted Computing Group guidelines. Refer to the TPM Quick Reference
and back-up Intel TPM keys and data before removing the coin-cell battery.
