Software developers and students can continue to advance their Trusted Platform Module (TPM) skills thanks to the launch of a new training course from the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).
Building on the foundation course launched earlier this year, ‘Trusted Computing 1102: Intermediate TPM Usage’ has been developed by the TCG in conjunction with cybersecurity training experts OpenSecurityTraining2 (OST2). The new course will cover new topics such as using Enhanced System API (ESAPI), understanding Endorsement Hierarchy and Endorsement Key, as well as leveraging Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) for machine identity and attestation.
The new curriculum has been created for students that have either completed the introductory TC1101 course or have equivalent experience working with TPMs. Through comprehensive, hands-on labs, participants will complete 20 practical exercise to give a real-world experience of working with this technology to deepen their understanding of advanced TPM functionalities.
“With TC1102, we have taken the next step to give students and industry professionals the knowledge to effectively implement TPMs in a wide range of applications,” said OST2 Founder Xeno Kovah. “The TPM is the backbone of ensuring trust in a range of digital devices, and it’s a great privilege to have TCG’s continued support in increasing our comprehensive training courses.”
Students participating in TC1102 will also gain valuable access to the TPM.dev Users Group, offering a supportive community and additional learning opportunities in TPM Usage and integration from likeminded individuals.
