HP ProtectTools Embedded Security

The HP ProtectTools Embedded Security solution includes the following key components:

ProtectTools Embedded Security – a hardware module, known as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM),

that is integrated in the computer system itself

ProtectTools Embedded Security Manager – this software has three key functions:
• Controlling the basic operation of ProtectTools Embedded Security (enabling, ownership, and

more)

• Enhancing file and folder encryption capabilities

• Supporting protected digital certificate operations for many existing applications such as Microsoft

Outlook or Netscape Messenger

HP ProtectTools Embedded Security is a hardware security chip that offers security and encryption features

and provides a tamper-proof storage area for protecting public and private keys. The chip is factory-

installed and should not be accessed or removed except by HP authorized service providers.

It is critical to do a backup of the Embedded Security credentials if data is being encrypted with the

Embedded Security chip. The backup is required to restore your settings and data whenever the system

board or Embedded Security chip is changed. To perform the backup, use the HP ProtectTools Embedded

Security Backup Wizard that is part of the HP ProtectTools Security Manager utility.
