Face Recognition for HP ProtectTools Face Recognition for HP ProtectTools provides a new level of convenience for a high level of protection. This feature is easy to set up and use, provides multifactor authentication into W indows, and is integrated with Single Sign-on capability. Face Recognition is an innovative technology that allows you to log in to your laptop and all your favorite websites using a single sign-on. You can login simply by looking at the webcam on the PC , so there is no need to recall dozens of user names 15

Feature
Benefit
Works with HP ProtectTools
Security Manager
User interface is fully integrated into the HP ProtectTools Security
Manager. Increases the functionality of the entire security solution by
allowing access to the embedded security chip. For example, if the
embedded security chip is present, Credential Manager for HP
ProtectTools uses it to further secure the encryption keys that encrypt
sensitive user credentials such as website passwords or network logon
credentials.
Designed to the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG)
standard
As a standards-based technology, embedded security chips are
designed to work with a growing number of third party software
solutions while providing a platform to support future hardware and
operating system architectures.
Supports Microsoft CAPI and
PKCS#11 cryptographic
software interfaces
Enables the embedded security chip to enhance a broad range of
existing applications and solutions that take advantage of these
interfaces (for example, Microsoft Outlook
®
, Netscape Navigator, RSA
SecurID and public key infrastructure solutions from leaders like
Microsoft, Verisign and Entrust)
Enhanced Microsoft EFS
Helps protect sensitive user data stored locally on a PC, where access
to Microsoft EFS encrypted files are protected by the embedded
security chip, providing a higher degree of hardware-based protection
Enhanced Personal Secure Drive
(PSD)
Personal Secure Drive (PSD) is an encrypted mountable volume. In
Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools version 4.0 and later, PSD has
been enhanced with a significantly larger size limit. The PSD can now
occupy the entire hard drive (minus 5GB for system files). PSD size
therefore is now only limited by the hard drive size. PSD can now also
be created on removable storage devices such as USB hard drives, and
USB flash drives.
Support for TPM v.1.2
Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools versions 4.0 or later support the
latest TPM v1.2 as well as the previous TPM v1.1.
Password Reset
Allows administrators to reset a lost user password
Automatic Backup
Allows automatic backups of TPM Embedded Security Credentials,
Settings and Personal Secure Drive (PSD). Backups can be created on
local drives as well as network drives. This ensures that TPM protected
user data can be recovered in case of a service event.
