The component designed to be integrated into a computing device for securing cryptographic keys is the Trusted Platform Module. It provides hardware-based security by managing keys within a protected environment, isolated from the operating system. A Hardware Security Module is a dedicated external device used for managing keys, not typically integrated directly on a computer's motherboard. Biometric sensors and secure boot are unrelated to the secure storage and handling of cryptographic keys. Biometric sensors are used for authentication purposes, while secure boot is a process ensuring the integrity of the operating system's boot process.
