Microsoft brings Trusted Platform Module functionality directly to CPUs under securo-silicon architecture Pluton

Microsoft has joined hands with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm to release a new security chip called Pluton, which Redmond reckons will delete "entire vectors of attack" from the infosec landscape.


"Our vision for the future of Windows PCs is security at the very core, built into the CPU, for a more integrated approach where the hardware and software are tightly integrated, ultimately removing entire vectors of attack," said Microsfot in a blog post this afternoon.


The "chip to cloud security technology", as Microsoft calls it, will be integrated into future CPU designs and is intended to defend against physical security attacks as well as preventing "the theft of credential and encryption keys", Microsoft added.


Conceptually, the Pluton architecture is an extension of hardware security work that Microsoft started in 2013 with onboard ..
