Trusted Platform Module
The TPM security chip allows you to create and manage digital certificates for user
and platform authentication. This type of security is usually administered within
large enterprises and organizations, and therefore requires implementation by a sys-
tem administrator before users can access security features.
Individual users can use the TPM as an authentication with the fingerprint reader.
Make sure you have administrator’s rights to your computer, and have a Windows
password enabled for full security protection. In addition Make sure you prepare
a removable media (e.g. a USB flash drive) to store passwords etc. before begin-
ning the TPM initialization process
.
Before setting up the TPM functions you must initialize the security platform.
