Microsoft’s attempt to put its homegrown Pluton security processor architecture into third-party Windows 11 PCs is right now more work-in-progress than the slam dunk its publicity would have you believe.<\/p>\n

Pluton<\/a> is the software giant’s move to define a level of security that should be baked into microprocessors that run its Windows OS. Pluton implementations are supposed to securely store and safeguard encryption keys, credentials, and other sensitive information, such as biometric data, within the processor package, making it difficult for miscreants to extract this info.<\/p>\n

Microsoft announced<\/a> Pluton in November 2020 in conjunction with Intel, Qualcomm, and AMD; the trio’s chips were expected to implement Pluton as an embedded co-processor. Indeed, all three were publicly very excited about the whole affair. However, despite all that publicity and hype, reality isn’t quite in alignment.<\/p>\n
