Lenovo Day 3

Although, a time couldn’t be sorted to meet virtually with Mr. Holroyd about my research topic idea I went ahead and picked the idea regarding the TPM like log in system. During my research I found that 90% of Microsoft’s IT team now signs in completely without passwords because of the dangers that humans are to cybersecurity. Many of them choose to use a USB device that you can plug in to log in. However, I felt like to be adapted by the public the USB device would have to go because the likelihood and convenience of everyone carrying USB’s around isn’t really there. Additionally from personal research I had known about an upcoming technology called Trusted Platform Module (TPM). These are hardware chips that ensure your computer’s security and enable functionality for certain biometric login features. However, I felt like finding a way to port a similar chip to software authentication on your computer rather then using a username and password would be an improvement.
