TPM, HSM, and Hardware Root of Trust
RCCE students will learn how trusted platform modules, hardware security modules, secure elements, and hardware roots of trust strengthen identity, encryption, attestation, and key protection. RCCE students will learn to design secure key custody models, evaluate attestation workflows, protect secrets from extraction, understand measured boot concepts, and integrate hardware-backed trust into enterprise and cloud architectures. The course covers practical scenarios ranging from device attestation to protected cryptographic operations and key lifecycle management. RCCE students will learn to analyze complex systems and think like an attacker to better defend the organization. This comprehensive course delivers practical knowledge applicable to real-world cybersecurity operations. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn through a combination of concept explanation, practical demonstration, and hands-on exercises.
