1.14 Intel Platform Security Technologies
Intel platform security technologies provides tools and resources to help the user protect their
information by creating a safer computing environment.
NOTE
Software with security capability is required to take advantage of Intel platform security
technologies.
1.14.1 Intel® Virtualization Technology
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) is a hardware-assisted technology that, when
combined with software-based virtualization solutions, provides maximum system utilization
by consolidating multiple environments into a single server or client.
NOTE
A processor with Intel VT does not guarantee that virtualization will work on your system. Intel
VT requires a computer system with a chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating
system, device drivers, and applications designed for this feature.

1.14.2 Intel® Platform Trust Technology
Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) is a platform functionality for credential storage
and key management. Intel® PTT supports Microsoft* BitLocker* Drive Encryption for hard
drive encryption and supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform
Module (fTPM) 2.0.
NOTE
Support for fTPM version 2.0 requires a UEFI-enabled operating system, such as Microsoft*
Windows* 10.
CAUTION
BIOS recovery using the BIOS security jumper clears Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel®
PTT) keys. These keys will not be restored after the BIOS recovery.
