Well, a lot of laptops these days have TPMs that can store disk encryption keys. BitLocker on Windows, or an exotic dm-crypt setup on Linux. However for a server, the chance of a thief getting a disk and the HSM at the same time is low; and you really don't want to have to enter a password every boot. So the HSM design delivers some benefits worth having. Whereas for a laptop, you can easily type in a password; and the chance of a thief snatching the disk and TPM at the same time is basically 100%. So there hasn't been a big push among Linux users to start using the TPM. |
