Reinitializing the TPM is possible if you have physical access — after all you presumably want to keep using it if the hard disk fails. | |
| Jun 21, 2016 at 20:07 | comment | added | entropy | I have one more question. If an attacker replaces the hard drive in my computer (which has TPM+PIN based bitlocker encryption and secure boot it turned on), with a new one, what will be the challenges for attacker? This might be a stupid question but I am kind of confused. Is it easy to use my computer just by replacing the hard drive ? | |
