HP DIGITALPASS TAKE ONLINE SECURITY TO A HIGHER LEVEL.
CONSIDER THESE USE CASES.
How could HP DigitalPass help you? Consider these common use cases for the technology.
USE CASE 4: Network access
A chief information officer (CIO) wants to enhance the security of the virtual private network that employees 
use when they are in the field or working from home. The CIO adds Symantec
™
 Validation and ID Protection 
Service to the network and instructs all employees to activate HP DigitalPass on their HP Business Notebooks.
Now when an employee logs onto the VPN, HP DigitalPass provides a unique, automatically generated 
passcode that can be supplied only by the employee’s system.
USE CASE 5: Social networking
A college student is worried about protecting the privacy of the personal information she shares with close 
friends and family via a social networking site. The student has heard stories of accounts getting hacked, 
leading to embarrassing disclosures. She doesn’t want the same to happen to her.
The student activates HP DigitalPass on her HP Business Notebook and registers her system with the  
VIP-enabled social networking site. Now she has the comfort of knowing that every time she visits the site, 
HP DigitalPass provides a short-lived passcode that authenticates her identity.
USE CASE 3: Online gaming
A frequent business traveler visits online gaming sites when he is on the road. He worries about protecting 
his personal information and his substantial body of game-related data from hackers who try to steal credit 
card numbers, user names and passwords. 
When the traveling gamer visits one of his favorite sites, he sees a prompt that invites him to add an 
additional layer of security. He registers his HP Business Notebook with the VIP-enabled site to gain the 
peace of mind that comes with stronger security protections.
USE CASE 2: Bank transactions
A manufacturing company regularly transfers large sums of money from its bank accounts to pay suppliers 
for shipments of materials. The company’s chief financial officer (CFO) wants to protect the business from 
the threat of fraudulent money transfers initiated by Internet thieves. 
The CFO advises her staff members to activate HP DigitalPass on their HP Business Notebooks and then 
bind their systems to the bank’s VIP-enabled website. This creates an additional layer of security—and gives 
the CFO the comfort of knowing she has taken an extra step to protect the company’s assets.

USE CASE 1: Online shopping
The owner of an antique shop wants to ward off fraudulent uses of her eBay and PayPal accounts, which 
she uses often in the course of her business. When the shop owner visits these sites using her HP Business 
Notebook, HP DigitalPass detects that the sites support Symantec
™
 Validation and ID Protection Service.
The shop owner goes through a few simple steps to activate the additional security on these sites. Then on sub-
sequent visits, HP DigitalPass automatically generates a one-time passcode that verifies the shop owner’s identity.
