Using TPM 1.2 with DDS Secure
The attached PDF describes all the steps required to use a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 to protect the identity of domain participants in a system built on top of RTI Connext DDS Secure.
The attached PDF gives step by step instructions on how to use the TPM 1.2 chip available in many business-class PCs. Note that modern computers might have a chipset implementing the newer specification of the TPM (2.0). Refer to the separate HOWTO document to work with TPM 2.0.
