Difference between Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Secure Element (SE)

52 Views Asked by At

I have been trying to figure out the difference between TPM and SE since last few days. All the answers that I have stumbled upon so far are vague. Both of them are used for cryptographic operation and secure storage of sensitive data like keys. Both are off-chip elements (like a coprocessor?). I want to understand the difference between them at architectural and functional level. Can someone give me a crisp difference between these two components? Unlike most of the Internet answers, I would greatly appreciate if you include links to solid writeups, datasheets in your answer.
