8Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools

NOTE: The integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) embedded security chip must be installed in your computer to use Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools. Most HP commercial desktop computers include the Infineon TPM, which is the only common criteria certified chip to meet TCG specifications.

Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools protects against unauthorized access to user data or credentials. This software module provides the following security features:

●Enhanced Microsoft Encryption File System (EFS) file and folder encryption (EFS is not available on Windows Home versions)

●Creation of a personal secure drive (PSD) for protecting user data

●Data management functions, such as backing up and restoring the key hierarchy

●Support for third-party applications (such as Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer) for protected digital certificate operations when using the Embedded Security software

The TPM embedded security chip enhances and enables other HP ProtectTools Security Manager security features. For example, Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools can use the embedded chip as an authentication factor when the user logs on to Windows.

Setup procedures

CAUTION: To reduce security risk, it is highly recommended that your IT administrator immediately initialize the embedded security chip. Failure to initialize the embedded security chip could result in an unauthorized user, a computer worm, or a virus taking ownership of the computer and gaining control over the owner tasks, such as handling the emergency recovery archive, and configuring user access settings.

Follow the steps in the following 2 sections to enable and initialize the embedded security chip.
