Using Fingerprint Authentication with the TPM
With the TPM data encryption feature, using fingerprint authentication can strengthen computer security. For instructions on
how to use the TPM, see Using Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
To use fingerprint authentication with the TPM, your computer needs to be equipped with both a fingerprint sensor and the
TPM. See the online specifications to find out whether your model is equipped with them.
For detailed information, see the help file on Protector Suite QL.
