I agree this is more esoteric and probably not that useful for the 
majority of users.

For my use case I'm thinking on full disk encryption with keys copied to 
TPM where I'd like it to break if the configuration changes. If I 
changed it I would copy the keys again, if I didn't do the configuration 
change I'd see it.

One way or another TPM keys are already big improvement for secure 
storage of keys so thank you for working on it!

Have a nice day.

Kind regards,
Wiktor
