The hardware on a computer motherboard that typically generates encryption is called a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). It is a dedicated microcontroller designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into devices.
Most modern motherboards don’t have dedicated hardware for encryption. Instead, the processor (CPU) is responsible for encryption. Some CPUs have specialized instructions that can accelerate certain types of encryption algorithms.
