Samsung NP940X3GK01US TPM security solution optional, Configuring the security solution

Applications

TPM security solution (optional)

Protect the user’s personal information by saving user authentication data on a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip installed in the computer. The Trusted Platform Module checks the system integrity and authenticates third-party users who would like to access the security features, while remaining under complete control of its primary user.

•Images and features may differ depending on the model and the application version.

•Refer to the security solution help for more information.

•This function is only supported for models with TPM (security chip).

Configuring the security solution

To use the TPM security solution, initialize the TPM chip in the BIOS Setup, initialize the TPM solution, and then register a user. To use the TPM function, complete the following steps.

Step 1: Initializing the TPM chip

When using the TPM solution for the first time or registering a user again, initialize the TPM chip.

•Initializing the TPM chip deletes all authentication data on the chip.

•If the TPM chip is initialized after the security solution is configured, decrypting any existing folders or files that have been encrypted by the security solution may not be possible. Failure to do so may lead to inaccessibility to the folder and files after initialization.
