6-2 Using the TPM and P1 Utility
Using TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
TPM is a hardware-based security feature that can be used to create and manage
computer-generated digital certificates. When combined with security software, the
TPM enhances existing network and computer security by enabling features such
as file protection capabilities and protected e-mail.
NOTE:
 Make sure you select Enable on the TPM Support item under the Security menu
of your BIOS Setup (see chapter 5 for details).
 Make sure you select Enable & Activate on the Change TPM State item under
the Security menu of your BIOS Setup (see chapter 5 for details).
 You only need to activate these items once.
You can use the certificates to:
 Send and receive secure email from email clients like Microsoft Windows
Mail/Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Messenger
 Set up browser (e.g. Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) and web server
(e.g. Microsoft Internet Information Server) for Client Authentication
 Sign Microsoft Word macros
 Encrypt files and folders
 Secure network connections
