Using TPM (Trusted Platform Module)

TPM is a hardware-based security feature that can be used to create and
manage computer-generated digital certificates. When combined with
security software, the TPM enhances existing network and computer
security by enabling features such as file protection capabilities and
protected e-mail.
NOTE:
Make sure you select Enable on the TPM Support item under the Security menu
of your BIOS Setup (see chapter 5 for details).
Make sure you select Enable & Activate on the Change TPM State item under the
Security menu of your BIOS Setup (see chapter 5 for details).
You only need to activate these items once.
You can use the certificates to:
Send and receive secure email from email clients like Microsoft
Windows Mail/Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook or Netscape
Messenger
Set up browser (e.g. Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) and
web server (e.g. Microsoft Internet Information Server) for Client
Authentication
Sign Microsoft Word macros
Encrypt files and folders
Secure network connections
