TPM Solution Resources

Optimized File Encryption Systems

TPM can help protect confidential and private information from potential attacks.

Personal Secure Drive

It creates a encrypted virtual drive, which provides the following benefits:
  • Secure Electronic Mail. Share messages confidentially and be sure message integrity will be kept during transmission.
  • Access to network resources. TPM can increase your reliability from the network platform. If a hacker’s PC tries to access the network, even with the user credentials, permission will not be granted.
  • Wireless Local Network (WLAN) security. TPM helps organizations to prevent non-authorized devices from accessing the corporate network. An exclusive root key identifies each client machine fit for TPM as a reliable platform on the network.
  • Support for other manufacturer’s applications such as RSA Secure ID. The combination of the software token functions with TPM provides a solid authentication without the additional cost and complexity associated with hardware token implementation
 

Pre-Initialization TPM Authentication/Operating System.

The system will not load the operating system until the user is authenticated. Much more secure than a start-up password because it cannot be removed.

Integrity Metrics

During initialization, the system BIOS will evaluate system specific resources to measure the current system status. The operating system or an application may compare the evaluated resources against those obtained when the system was in a known reliable status.
