HP ProtectTools features
The following table details the key features of HP ProtectTools modules:
Module Key features
HP ProtectTools Security Manager for Administrators ● The Security Manager setup wizard is used by administrators to
set up and configure levels of security and security logon methods.
● Users can also use the setup wizard to configure their logon
methods.
● Administrator tools are used to add and remove ProtectTools
users and view user status.
● Backs up and restores security modules from installed
HP ProtectTools modules.
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools ● Credential Manager acts as a personal password vault,
streamlining the logon process with the Single Sign On feature,
which automatically remembers and applies user credentials.
● Single Sign On also offers additional protection by requiring
combinations of different security technologies, such as a Java™
Card and biometrics, for user authentication.
● Password storage is protected through software encryption and
can be enhanced through the use of a TPM embedded security
chip and/or security device authentication, such as Java Cards or
biometrics.
Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools ● Drive Encryption provides complete, full-volume hard drive
encryption.
● Drive Encryption forces pre-boot authentication in order to decrypt
and access the data on the hard drive.
Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools ● Privacy Manager is a tool used to obtain Certificates of Authority,
which verify the source, integrity, and security of communication
when using Microsoft mail, Microsoft Office documents, and Live
Messenger.
File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools ● File Sanitizer allows you to securely shred digital assets (securely
delete sensitive information including application files, historical
or Web-related content, or other confidential data) on your
computer and periodically bleach the hard drive (write over data
that has been previously deleted but is still present on the hard
drive in order to make recovery of the data more difficult).
Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools ● 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.
● 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.
