Chapter 06: Securing Your Sahara Slate PC



Taking Ownership of the TPM

After initializing the TPM functionality in the BIOS, the next step
to securing your Sahara Slate PC is to establish yourself as the
tablet’s owner.

Install and configure the TPM security management software
package of your choice and then refer to the user manual that
accompanied the software for information on how to accomplish
this important task.

IMPORTANT: Once you have taken ownership of the TPM, it is vital
that you store your password in a secure location and take care
never to lose it. If you do, you will not be able to access the data you
protected/encrypted using your security management software.

Enrolling Your Fingerprints in VitaKey

Now that you have established yourself as the owner, you can
enroll your fingerprints. If your security management
software doesn’t support this feature, or isn’t compatible
with the AuthenTec AES110 fingerprint reader in your
Sahara Slate PC, you can use the included VitaKey software.

1.

Locate the VitaKey application shortcut in the system tray
and tap on it with the stylus pen to open the application
menu and choose “System Wizard”.

2.

The first time you run
the VitaKey application,
you will be greeted with
the System Wizard. Tap
the “Next” button to
begin the wizard or tap
on “Cancel” to exit the
wizard and close the
application.

looks the same in both

Windows XP and Vista.
