7 Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools
Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools manages the Java Card setup and configuration for use with
the HP Smart Card keyboard. HP's Java Card is a personal security device that protects authentication
data requiring both the card and a PIN number to grant access – like using an ATM card with a PIN.
The Java Card can be used to access Credential Manager, Drive Encryption, HP BIOS, or any number
of third party access points.
With Java Card Security, you can accomplish the following tasks:
● Access Java Card Security features
● Work with the Computer Setup utility to enable Java Card authentication in a power-on environment
● Configure separate Java Cards for an administrator and a user. A user must insert the Java Card
and type a PIN before the operating system will load
● Set and change the PIN used to authenticate users of the Java Card
General tasks
The “General” page allows you to perform the following tasks:
● Change a Java Card PIN
● Select the card reader or smart card keyboard
NOTE: The card reader uses both Java Cards and smart cards. This feature is available if you
have more than one card reader on the computer.
