4.10.3 Intel® Virtualisation Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d)

Intel

Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) compliments Intel

VT by providing the ability to isolate and restrict

device accesses to the resources owned by the virtual partition managing the device.

NOTE
Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT.

4.10.4 Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)

Intel

Trusted Execution Technology (Intel

TXT) is a hardware security solution that protects systems against software-based attacks

by validating the behavior of key components at startup against a known good source. It requires that Intel VT be enabled and the
presence of a TPM.

NOTE
Intel

TXT requires the use of a processor with Intel TXT support. Additionally, third party software may also be required.

4.10.5 Intel® Identity Protection Technology

Intel

Identity Protection Technology (Intel

IPT) provides a simple way for websites and enterprises to validate that a user is logging

in from a trusted computer. This is accomplished by using the Intel

Manageability Engine embedded in the chipset to generate a

six-digit number that, when coupled with a user name and password, will generate a One-Time Password (OTP) when visiting Intel
IPT-enabled websites. Intel

IPT eliminates the need for the additional token or key fob required previously for two-factor

authentication.

4.10.6 Intel® Anti-Theft Technology

Intel

Anti-Theft (Intel

AT) provides local, tamper-resistant defense that works like a poison pill that disables the computer and

access to its data even if the operating system (OS) is reimaged, a new hard drive is installed, or the computer is disconnected from
the network.

NOTE
No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel

AT requires the computer system to have an Intel

AT-

enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware release, software, and an Intel

AT-capable Service Provider/ISV application and service subscription.

The detection (triggers), response (actions), and recovery mechanisms only work after the Intel

AT functionality has been activated

and configured. Certain functionality may not be offered by some ISVs or service providers and may not be available in all countries.
Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof.

4.11 Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The TPM module version 2.0 component is specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of

today’s software by providing a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and

software, the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages

—

operations when the keys are being used

unencrypted in plain-text form. The TPM shields unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from software-based
attacks.

NOTE
The Intel

TPM uses the onboard coin-cell battery (CR2032) to maintain its monotonic counters. One major function of the monotonic

counters is for anti-replay protection of the internal Intel

TPM data. If the battery is removed or exhausted, the Intel

TPM data will
