Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (device-dependent)
The following description applies only to the LIFEBOOK T4410.
To use the TPM, you must activate the TPM in the BIOS Setup before the software is installed. The condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor password (see "Security functions", Page 76).
Options for using the TPM
You can use the TPM in different ways:
SmartCaseTM Logon+ | SmartCaseTM Logon+ offers additional help with managing and |
| using the numerous passwords required to work with the computer. |
| To install, configure and use SmartCase™ Logon+, please refer to |
| the documentation and online help on the CD with the SmartCase™ |
| Logon+ software. |
Security API | Smart Security API 4.1 is middleware which supports the entire |
| range of mobile and stationary clients from Fujitsu Technology |
| Solutions. Independent of the TPM hardware, it is needed |
| by everyone who uses a PKI Smart Security environment for |
| identification purposes. |
Microsoft® BitLocker | BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) is a feature of Microsoft® Vista |
| Enterprise and Ultimate Editions for encryption of the hard disk |
| drive. Here, BitLocker uses the TPM for the storage of the recovery |
| data which are used for decryption of the partition. |
| It is also possible to use BitLocker without TPM and only to use |
| the USB dongle for storing the crypto key. This option is mainly of |
| interest if Vista is installed on a computer on which TPM is not |
| installed or an older version (before Version 1.2) is installed. |
| For BitLocker to work, you must have set up at least two partitions |
| on your hard drive. The first partition contains the boot information. |
| The second, larger partition is encrypted and contains the operating |
| system as well as the user data. |
| Important: The partitions must be set up before Windows Vista |
| is installed. |
