File: greengrass/v2/developerguide/gg-with-tpm-tutorial.md

Summary

Updated tutorial title and content to focus on securing Greengrass Nucleus with TPM. Fixed typo (jg → jq) and updated section title. Emphasizes TPM as HSM for secure key storage to prevent extraction.

Security assessment

The changes clarify and enhance documentation about using TPM as a security feature for secure key storage. While it improves security practices, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
