HP ProtectTools features
The following table details the key features of HP ProtectTools modules:
Module
Key features
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools
●
Credential Manager serves a dual role acting as a personal
password vault, providing single sign on capability, and allowing
the user to define and deploy more stringent security for user
authentication beyond a password.
●
Password storage is protected through encryption and can be
hardened through the use of a TPM embedded security chip.
●
Beyond Single Sign On, Credential Manager offers the capability
to utilize combinations of different security authentication
technologies, such as a Java™ Card or biometrics, for user
authentication along with password.
Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools
●
Embedded Security manages security user and administrator
options for protecting various encryption keys employing TPM
technology on the local computer like EFS (Windows Encrypting
File System). Personal Secure Drive (PSD), and third-party digital
certificates.
●
Embedded Security uses a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
embedded security chip to help protect against unauthorized
access to sensitive user data or credentials stored locally on a PC.
TPM provides secure storage for encryption keys and has key
generation capabilities. It also provides a strong defense against
password attacks.
●
Embedded Security allows creation of a personal secure drive
(PSD) — a virtual drive that can be hidden from view in the system
for protecting user data.
●
Embedded Security supports third-party applications (such as
Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer) for protected digital
certificate operations.
Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools
●
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.
●
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.
BIOS Configuration for HP ProtectTools
●
BIOS Configuration provides access to power-on user and
administrator password management.
●
BIOS Configuration provides an alternative to the pre-boot BIOS
configuration utility known as
F10
Setup.
