Initialization and Administration of
the Acer Security Platform
The initial status of the Acer Security Platform is disabled by default on delivery
to the customer. This ensures that no flow of confidential information from the
Acer Security Platform back to Acer can occur in this phase, as there are no
shared secrets in any form.
Before you can take advantage of your Acer Security Platform you must:
•
Enable the Acer Security Platform. To enable the chip, please see "Enabling
or disabling Acer TPM security" on page 68.
•
Setup your Infineon Security Platform by starting the Acer Security
Platform Initialization Wizard
•
Setup Acer Security Platform Users by starting the Infineon Security
Platform User Initialization Wizard
Refer to Infineon Security Platform Solution Tools for detailed information
about the wizards and administrative tools.
If the Infineon Security Platform and an Infineon Security Platform User have
been setup, you are ready to obtain an Infineon Trusted Platform Module based
certificate.
User Authentication

before you can use security features. E.g. file encryption requires your Basic User
