What your computer needs
Valt0 needs a computer with a security chip: a Secure Enclave on a Mac, or a TPM on a Windows or Linux PC. If your computer is fairly recent, you almost certainly have one already. Every Mac with Apple silicon has a Secure Enclave, and every PC that can run Windows 11 has a TPM.
Only the computer you develop on needs one. A server or a container you deploy your application to does not, as Deployment explains.
