Microsoft he said the Pluton processor, an upcoming chip that differs from the main CPU and will be available in future computers with Windows 10.
The Microsoft Pluton processor is designed to improve protection against natural attacks και να σταματήσει τους εισβολείς από το να κλέβουν διαπιστευτήρια του χρήστη και κλειδιά κρυπτογράφησης με κακόβουλο λογισμικό. Το chip θα βοηθάει τα συστήματα να ανακάμπτουν από errorthe software.
Essentially, the Pluton chip is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that will be isolated from the rest of the system to protect the encryption keys from attacks during attacks aimed at the CPU.
Microsoft promises that Pluton will make it easier to update the firmware of the system, for example, in cases where TPM firmware is required for separate security processors.
In Intel's case, the Pluton processor will ship with future chips but will be isolated from their cores. However, at the moment there is no exact timetable for it appearance of the first Intel chips to contain the Pluton security processor.
Pluton will be integrated into the Windows Update process on computers running Windows 10, according to Microsoft. It will therefore receive firmware and end-to-end security updates that will be developed, maintained and updated by Microsoft.
Firmware updates will follow the same procedure used by Azure Sphere Security Service to connect to IoT devices.
