Microsoft formally announced TCPS at the Hannover Messe 2018, a trade show for industrial technology that took place last week.
TCPS is a tri-component system
According to Microsoft, TCPS systems are designed to utilize three elements to catch and block intrusions.
The first is a hardware-level Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) such as Intel SGX, ARM TrustZone, and SecureElements. Such systems are found on processors and are hardware-separated areas of modern CPUs meant to process highly-sensitive information.
The second component is a graphical user interface (GUI) that is meant to appear on what Microsoft considers a "Secure Confirmation Terminal," operated by a trusted employee.
The third and last component of Microsoft's TCPS is a cloud-based platform that could be used for provisioning, key management, certificate authority, patch management, and tamper-proof logging. Since we're talking about a Microsoft project, Azure will be the default go-to solution.
TCPS meant to provide protection for "data in execution"
Normally, good IoT and ICS systems utilize various security features to protect data in transit (data moving between devices — e.g., use of HTTPS encryption) and data at rest (data stored on a device — e.g., cryptographic file signatures).
