Backing up and restoring Java Cards After you have assigned power-on authentication identity to a Java Card, it is highly recommended that you create a Java Card recovery file. The recovery file can be used to transfer the Java Card power-on authentication identity data from one Java Card to another Java Card. This file can also be used to back up the original Java Card or to restore the data when a Java Card is lost or stolen. CAUTION To avoid having a recovery file that does not match a Java Card containing updated information, immediately create a new recovery file on removable media and put it in a safe place. If you keep a backup Java Card, you must also update the information on the backup Java Card by restoring the new recovery file onto the backup Java Card. Creating a recovery file To create a recovery file: 1. Select Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security Manager. 2. In the left pane, click Java Card Security, and then click Advanced. 3. When the Setup Password dialog box displays, enter your Computer Setup setup password, and then click OK. 4. In the right pane, under Recovery, click Create. 5. Enter the file path and file name in the Filename box. CAUTION To avoid loss of access to the computer, do not save the recovery file on the computer hard drive; you will not be able to access the file without the Java Card. Also, a recovery file saved on the hard drive may be accessible to others, posing a security risk. 6. Enter a recovery file password in the Recovery file password box, and then enter it again in the Confirm password box. 7. Enter the Java Card PIN, and then click OK. CAUTION To prevent the loss of the Java Card recovery file data, do not forget the recovery file password. You cannot re-create your card from the recovery file if you forget the password.

Backing up and restoring Java Cards

After you have assigned power-on authentication identity to a Java Card, it is highly recommended that

you create a Java Card recovery file. The recovery file can be used to transfer the Java Card power-on

authentication identity data from one Java Card to another Java Card. This file can also be used to back

up the original Java Card or to restore the data when a Java Card is lost or stolen.

CAUTION

To avoid having a recovery file that does not match a Java Card containing updated

information, immediately create a new recovery file on removable media and put it in a safe place.

If you keep a backup Java Card, you must also update the information on the backup Java Card

by restoring the new recovery file onto the backup Java Card.

Creating a recovery file

To create a recovery file:

Select

Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security Manager

In the left pane, click

Java Card Security

, and then click

Advanced

When the

Setup Password

dialog box displays, enter your Computer Setup setup password, and

then click

In the right pane, under

Recovery

, click

Create

Enter the file path and file name in the

Filename

box.

CAUTION

To avoid loss of access to the computer, do not save the recovery file on the

computer hard drive; you will not be able to access the file without the Java Card. Also, a

recovery file saved on the hard drive may be accessible to others, posing a security risk.

Enter a recovery file password in the

Recovery file password

box, and then enter it again in

the

Confirm password

box.

Enter the Java Card PIN, and then click

CAUTION

To prevent the loss of the Java Card recovery file data, do not forget the recovery

file password. You cannot re-create your card from the recovery file if you forget the password.
