HP ProtectTools features The following table details the key features of HP ProtectTools modules: Module Key features HP ProtectTools Security Manager for Administrators ● The Security Manager setup wizard is used by administrators to set up and configure levels of security and security logon methods. ● Users can also use the setup wizard to configure their logon methods. ● Administrator tools are used to add and remove ProtectTools users and view user status. ● Backs up and restores security modules from installed HP ProtectTools modules. Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools ● Credential Manager acts as a personal password vault, streamlining the logon process with the Single Sign On feature, which automatically remembers and applies user credentials. ● Single Sign On also offers additional protection by requiring combinations of different security technologies, such as a Java™ Card and biometrics, for user authentication. Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools ● Password storage is protected through software encryption and can be enhanced through the use of a TPM embedded security chip and/or security device authentication, such as Java Cards or biometrics. ● Drive Encryption provides complete, full-volume hard drive encryption. Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools ● Drive Encryption forces pre-boot authentication in order to decrypt and access the data on the hard drive. ● Privacy Manager is a tool used to obtain Certificates of Authority, which verify the source, integrity, and security of communication when using Microsoft mail, Microsoft Office documents, and Live Messenger. File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools ● File Sanitizer allows you to securely shred digital assets (securely delete sensitive information including application files, historical or Web-related content, or other confidential data) on your computer and periodically bleach the hard drive (write over data that has been previously deleted but is still present on the hard drive in order to make recovery of the data more difficult). Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools ● Java Card Security is a management software interface for Java Card. Java Card is a personal security device that protects authentication data requiring both the card and a PIN number to grant access. The Java Card can be used to access Credential Manager, Drive Encryption, HP BIOS, or any number of third party access points. ● Java Card Security configures the HP ProtectTools Java Card for user authentication before the hard drive boots. Java Card Security can be accessed by Embedded Security, Java Card, and passwords. ● Java Card Security configures separate Java Cards for an administrator and a user. 2 Chapter 1 Introduction to security ENWW
