Using BIOS Setup and System Recovery 5-7
Security Menu
The Security menu contains the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) setting. The
TPM is a component on your tablet PC’s mainboard that is specifically
designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the
capabilities of today’s software by providing a protected space for key
operations and other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and
software, TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most
vulnerable stages – operations when the keys are being used
unencrypted in plain-text form. TPM is specifically designed to shield
unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from
software-based attacks.
TPM Support enables or disables TPM support (see chapter 6 for details).
Current TPM State shows the current TPM state.
Change TPM State allows you to select between No Change, Clear,
Deactivate & Disable, and Enable & Activate.
