Trusted Execution Technology
The Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-4600/2600/2400/1600 Product Families support Intel
®
Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel
®
TXT), which is a robust security environment. Designed to help protect against software-
based attacks, Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology integrates new security features and capabilities into the
processor, chipset and other platform components. When used in conjunction with Intel
®
Virtualization
Technology, Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology provides hardware-rooted trust for your virtual applications.
This hardware-rooted security provides a general-purpose, safer computing environment capable of running a
wide variety of operating systems and applications to increase the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive
information without compromising the usability of the platform.
Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology requires a computer system with Intel
®
Virtualization Technology enabled
(both VT-x and VT-d), an Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology-enabled processor, chipset and BIOS,
Authenticated Code Modules, and an Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology compatible measured launched
environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition,
Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology requires the system to include a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted
Computing Group TPM PC Client Specifications, Revision 1.2.
When available, Intel Trusted Execution Technology can be enabled or disabled in the processor from a BIOS
Setup option.
