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.

1.12.1.6

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Only available on the STK2MV64CC and the STK2M364CC. The TPM 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

Support for TPM version 2.0 requires a UEFI-enabled operating system.
