HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Encryption-i.e., algorithm, cryptography; any procedure used in cryptography to convert plaintext into cipher text in order to prevent unauthorized recipients from reading that data. There are many types of data encryption and they are the basis of network security. Common types include Data Encryption Standard and public-key encryption. Encryption File System (EFS)-a system that encrypts all files and subfolders within the selected folder. Migration-a task that allows the management, restoration, and transfer of keys and certificates. Personal Secure Drive (PSD)-provides a protected storage area for sensitive data. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-a standard that defines the interfaces for creating, using, and administering certificates and cryptographic keys. Trusted Platform Module (TPM)-provides hardware level of security to data. Built into the system, the Embedded Security chip can check the system integrity and authenticate third-party users who access the platform, while still remaining under complete control of its primary user. 24 www.hp.com HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Guide
