Security Modules (Fingerprint & TPM)
The encrypted channel between the Trusted Platform Module security chip and
the fingerprint reader with Protector Suite Software provides a high level of se-
curity for your computer. A further level of security and control is provided in the
BIOS (see “Security Menu” on page 5 - 13 and “Boot Menu” on page 5 - 15).
The fingerprint reader and Protector Suite Software allow you to:
• Access or Lock your computer
• Protect sensitive files
• Display and file your favorite web pages
• Fill in frequently used dialogs
• Run your favorite applications
The TPM security chip allows you to create and manage digital certificates for user
and platform authentication. This type of security is usually administered within
large enterprises and organizations, and therefore requires implementation by a sys-
tem administrator before users can access security features.
