    I get your pc, “tamper” it, then i install a fake bios that tells you all is well and that your tpm and secureboot and whatever else bullcrap they invent is still happy.

    See the problem?

      It won’t boot though, because the keys to decrypt the system are stored in the TPM.

      Sure you could replace the whole OS, but that’s going to be very obvious and won’t allow you access to the data.

        Isnt it possible to have a recovery key? Isnt that technically a backdoor? Maybe the terms are not correct but there is a way in physically.
