Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools

Credential Manager acts as a personal password vault.

 

Single Sign On remembers multiple passwords for various

 

password-protected Web sites, applications, and network

 

resources.

 

Single Sign On offers additional protection by requiring

 

combinations of different security technologies, such as a Java™

 

Card and biometrics, for user authentication.

 

Password storage is protected through encryption and can be

 

hardened through the use of a TPM embedded security chip and/

 

or security device authentication, such as Java Cards or

 

biometrics.

 

 

Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools

Embedded Security uses a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

 

embedded security chip to help protect against unauthorized

 

access to sensitive user data or credentials stored locally on a PC.

 

Embedded Security allows creation of a personal secure drive

 

(PSD) for protecting user data.

 

Embedded Security supports third-party applications (such as

 

Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer) for protected digital

 

certificate operations.

 

 

Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools

Java Card Security configures the HP ProtectTools Java Card for

 

user authentication before the operating system loads.

 

Java Card Security configures separate Java Cards for an

 

administrator and a user.

 

 

BIOS Configuration for HP ProtectTools

BIOS Configuration provides access to power-on user and

 

administrator password management.

 

BIOS Configuration provides an alternative to the pre-boot BIOS

DriveLock helps protect a hard drive from unauthorized access,

 

even if it is removed from a system, without requiring the user to

 

remember any additional passwords.
