Network Security
硬件根信任
A cryptographic foundation embedded in hardware (e.g., TPM, HSM, or secure enclave) that provides immutable security anchors for system boot, identity, and cryptographic operations. Referenced in NIST SP 800-164 and ISO/IEC 11889.

Quick answer
A cryptographic foundation embedded in hardware (e.g., TPM, HSM, or secure enclave) that provides immutable security anchors for system boot, identity, and cryptographic operations. Referenced in NIST SP 800-164 and ISO/IEC 11889.
Why it matters
硬件根信任 matters because it supports clear communication in Network Security contexts for SOC Analysts, Security Engineers, and Incident Responders. It also connects to aviation training and exam language such as CISSP, CompTIA Security+, and CEH.
