The guidance introduces two designations: 'TCG PQC-ready TPM' for devices implementing PTP 1.07, and 'TCG PQC-upgradable TPM' for those that can be upgraded to meet it. TCG also plans to expand certification programs to formally certify PQC-ready TPMs, giving businesses a benchmark to verify vendor claims of quantum-safe protection rather than relying on marketing statements about individual algorithm support. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What makes a TPM 'PQC-ready' according to TCG? A TPM is considered PQC-ready if it implements the TCG PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP) 1.07, which defines the required post-quantum cryptography specific elements built on the TPM 2.0 Library Specification Version 1.85. Vendors may add optional PQC algorithms beyond this baseline. TPMs lacking this support but capable of being upgraded to it are designated 'TCG PQC-upgradable TPM' instead. _Track how TPM and hardware security standards evolve for post-quantum readiness on daily.dev._ ### What is the difference between a PQC-ready TPM and a PQC-upgradable TPM? A TCG PQC-ready TPM currently implements PTP 1.07 and its required post-quantum cryptography elements, while a TCG PQC-upgradable TPM does not yet support PTP 1.07 but has the capability to be upgraded to that support later. This distinction lets businesses evaluate vendor claims about quantum-safe hardware readiness rather than accepting generic compliance marketing. _Developers evaluating hardware trust roots can follow PQC hardware standards on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Embedded TPM: Watch Out\!](https://daily.dev/posts/embedded-tpm-watch-out--qmcnrgicw) · Hackaday · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [PQC roadmap remains hazy as vendors race for early advantage](https://daily.dev/posts/pqc-roadmap-remains-hazy-as-vendors-race-for-early-advantage-gp8vfiiph) · CSO Online · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [BTQ Technologies and ICTK Complete Design of Quantum-Secure QCIM Security Chip](https://daily.dev/posts/btq-technologies-and-ictk-complete-design-of-quantum-secure-qcim-security-chip-7utbawd4p) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing), [#cryptography](https://daily.dev/tags/cryptography) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/tcg-defines-requirements-for-pqc-ready-trusted-platform-modules-77g0wspzr) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"TCG Defines Requirements for PQC-Ready Trusted Platform Modules","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/tcg-defines-requirements-for-pqc-ready-trusted-platform-modules-77g0wspzr","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/tcg-defines-requirements-for-pqc-ready-trusted-platform-modules-77g0wspzr"},"datePublished":"2026-08-24T11:26:02.785Z","dateModified":"2026-08-24T11:26:22.186Z","description":"The Trusted Computing Group has released guidance defining what makes a TPM 'PQC-ready,' setting TCG PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP) 1.07 as the baseline...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/54f03672c0e60b3e77f6662611b915cc?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/54f03672c0e60b3e77f6662611b915cc?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/tcg-defines-requirements-for-pqc-ready-trusted-platform-modules-77g0wspzr","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"security,quantum-computing,cryptography","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"TCG Defines Requirements for PQC-Ready Trusted Platform Modules"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/tcg-defines-requirements-for-pqc-ready-trusted-platform-modules-77g0wspzr#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What makes a TPM 'PQC-ready' according to TCG?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A TPM is considered PQC-ready if it implements the TCG PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP) 1.07, which defines the required post-quantum cryptography specific elements built on the TPM 2.0 Library Specification Version 1.85.
