Microsoft I introduced Proof Preparation Verifier (ARV) For a reliable platform module (TPM) Windows 11, version 24H2A new tool designed to enhance security compliance, improve system reliability, and ensure compatibility with Windows security features.
TPM plays a key role in modern cybersecurity and enhances essential protections like BitLocker Encryption, Windows Hello, and Atestation. With ARV, Microsoft is aiming to Proactively identify security vulnerabilities By simulating the validation of measured boot logs, it helps IT administrators and OEMs to detect potential threats before they affect their enterprise systems.

What is the authenticated certifier doing?
ARV performs important security checks such as:
- Check the presence and responsiveness of TPMs
- TPM version verification (requires 2.0)
- Ensure that there is a valid boot log
- Checking Secure Boot, Virtualization-Based Security (VBS), and System Guard Status
After performing these checks, the ARV assigns health status to the system.
- Proofable: The system meets all security requirements.
- Probably proven: Small issues are detected, such as platform configuration registers (PCR) mismatches.
- Not proven: A critical security check has failed, indicating a potential system integrity problem.
Why this is important for security and compliance
and Rising Cyber Threatsensuring system integrity has never been more important than ever. Microsoft emphasizes that ARV can help organizations.
- Streamline security compliance For businesses using Microsoft Entra Conditional Access.
- Strengthen BitLocker Diagnosiswhich makes it easier to identify why encryption fails.
- Improve Azure host proofing Verify TPM security for cloud-based workloads.
