Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) integrates encryption keys into the Industrial Box PC in order to
secure hardware and software. The TPM enables the following security functions:
• Ensure the integrity of the platform: The TPM can be used in the BIOS and other software to protect
against unauthorized manipulation.
• Disk encryption: The TPM can be used with "BitLocker" drive encryption.
• Password protection and other uses of encryption: The TPM provides encryption key management.
Additional Information
Refer to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) for best practice information.
Usage
To enable the TPM, see the relevant section in the BIOS Settings.
To use the TPM with "BitLocker" drive encryption, please follow the instructions in the operating sys-
tem.
Additional Information
Refer to A-1 BIOS on page A - 2 to enable TPM in the BIOS Settings.
Considerations
Risk of data loss: If you lose the password for the drive encryption, you will not be able to restore the
data. You will then lose access to the encrypted drive. Please store the password carefully and make
sure it is protected against unauthorized access.
