Using your HP Encryption Smart Card Security
System

Introduction

When using your HP Encryption Smart Card Security System with the Windows 95
operating system, a smart card must be present to encrypt and decrypt files in your
Secure folder. When the card is introduced in the reader a message box will open
asking for the PIN. Only when the correct PIN is entered will you be able to access
your Secure folder and encrypt and decrypt your files.
With the Windows NT operating system, in addition to the above, the smart card is
required to log on. The PIN is requested, but is not necessary to log on (you can
cancel, without stopping the logon). However, only when the correct PIN has been
entered will you be able to access your Secure folder and encrypt and decrypt your
files.

Getting Information

In the Information page of the HP Encryption System manager, you can easily see
where the Secure folder is located. This location was specified during the product
installation and cannot be changed. Other information available includes the status
of the smart card and smart card reader and the status of the products software
components.
