Dear specialists.
I have a question. Does the Killer E2205 Gigabit LAN support traffic encryption by TPM 1.2? If it does. What software i need to use?

As far as I'm aware, there is no support for network encryption.

But if you want 100% certainty, you are welcome to contact Killer Networks/Qualcomm directly via: https://www.qca.qualcomm.com/products/killer-technology/support/

Dear darkhawk, your russian colleague said that it depends not on network adapter, but on chipset wich is z87 in my case. Is it true?

Svet is correct.

Taken from the manual: http://msi.com/product/mb/Z87-G45-GAMING.html#hero-overview

It appears that there is a TPM connector. There isn't any information on if it is a TPM 1.2 or TPM 2.0.

The question is not about version of TPM. It is about network traffic encryption by TPM. I have TPM 1,2 plugged on my motherboard and it's working for encryption system hard drive. By the way TPM is MSI also. So i am interested in network traffic encryption, and on what hardware it depends: on chipset,on network adapter or on version of the TPM?  :confused2:

From what I've read about this, it only matters on the chipset and TPM. Obviously if the chipset doesn't support TPM, it can't be used. The motherboard has the TPM connector and can enable it.

From that document, there doesn't appear to be much more information on network security. I've been trying to find more information on it, but it's very lacking at the moment anywhere that I can find it. It's mentioned, but that's it. No information is given on how a platform can support the network encryption.

What I'm trying to say, is that we most likely will not be any help, and you are asking a very specialized case that is well outside of what most of the users and moderators (possibly even MSI) will be able to answer.

I would contact the Trusted Computing Group, which from what I understand, regulates the TPM. They should have more information on what is required.
