Explanation

On October 10, 2017 information disclosure on Infineon’s TPM security chip vulnerability was made.

(www.infineon.com/TPM-update) For TPM firmware that do not support this issue, an RSA key generation algorithm less than expected strength were used.  You may be affected if you are using Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption TPM or Virtual Small Card.

This page will guide you on the correspondence of VAIO Corporation towards the vulnerability of TPM security chip.

Please note that Intel PTT-equipped models are not applicable to this issue.
