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.
