4.3 Intel Trusted Execution Technology
®
® ® ® ®
The Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 support Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT),
which is a robust security environment. Designed to help protect against software-based
®
attacks, Intel Trusted Execution Technology integrates new security features and capabilities
®
into the processor, chipset and other platform components. When used in conjunction with Intel
®
Virtualization Technology, Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides hardware-rooted trust
for your virtual applications.
This hardware-rooted security provides a general-purpose, safer computing environment
capable of running a wide variety of operating systems and applications to increase the
confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information without compromising the usability of
the platform.
® ®
Intel Trusted Execution Technology requires a computer system with Intel Virtualization
®
Technology enabled (both VT-x and VT-d), an Intel Trusted Execution Technology-enabled
®
processor, chipset and BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules, and an Intel Trusted Execution
Technology compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a
®
virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology requires the system to include a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing
Group TPM PC Client Specifications, Revision 1.2.
®
When available, Intel Trusted Execution Technology can be enabled or disabled in the
processor by a BIOS Setup option.
