Owner's Manual
Security Menu
The Security menu contains the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) setting. The
TPM is a component on your tablet PC’s mainboard that is specifically
designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of
today’s software by providing a protected space for key operations and
other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and software, TPM protects
encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages – operations
when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form. TPM is
specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication
information from software-based attacks.
TPM Support enables or disables TPM support (see chapter 6 for details).
