Security Modules (Fingerprint & TPM)
The encrypted channel between the Trusted Platform Module security chip (see
“Trusted Platform Module” on page 7 - 75) and the fingerprint reader with
appli-
cation software (see “Fingerprint Reader Module” on page 7 - 44) provides a high
level of security for your computer. A further level of security and control is provid-
ed in the BIOS (see “Security Menu” on page 5 - 11).
The fingerprint reader and application software allow you to:
• Access or Lock your computer
• Protect sensitive files
• Access frequently used websites using your fingerprint
