Identity
In the HP ProtectTools Credential Manager, a group of credentials and settings that is handled like an
account or profile for a particular user.
Java Card
Small piece of hardware, similar in size and shape to a credit card, which stores identifying information
about the owner. Used to authenticate the owner to a computer.
Migration
A task that allows the management, restoration, and transfer of keys and certificates.
Network account
Windows user or administrator account, either on a local computer, in a workgroup, or on a
domain.
Personal secure drive (PSD)
Provides a protected storage area for sensitive information.
Power-on authentication
Security feature that requires some form of authentication, such as a Java Card,
security chip, or password, when the computer is turned on.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Standard that defines the interfaces for creating, using, and administering
certificates and cryptographic keys.
Reboot
Process of restarting the computer.
Single Sign On
Feature that stores authentication information and allows you to use the Credential Manager to
access Internet and Windows applications that require password authentication.
Smart card
Small piece of hardware, similar in size and shape to a credit card, which stores identifying
information about the owner. Used to authenticate the owner to a computer.
Stringent security
Security feature in BIOS Configuration that provides enhanced protection for the power-on
and administrator passwords and other forms of power-on authentication.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) embedded security chip (select models only)
Integrated security chip that
can protect highly sensitive user information from malicious attackers. It is the root-of-trust in a given platform. The
TPM provides cryptographic algorithms and operations that meets the Trusted Computing Group (TCG)
specifications.
USB token
