ENWW 1

HP ProtectTools featuresThe following table details the key features of HP ProtectTools modules:

Module Key features

Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools ● Credential Manager acts as a personal password vault.

● Single Sign On remembers multiple passwords for variouspassword-protected Web sites, applications, and networkresources.

● Single Sign On offers additional protection by requiringcombinations of different security technologies, such as a Java™Card and biometrics, for user authentication.

● Password storage is protected through encryption and can behardened through the use of a TPM embedded security chip and/or security device authentication, such as Java Cards orbiometrics.

Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools ● Embedded Security uses a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)embedded security chip to help protect against unauthorizedaccess to sensitive user data or credentials stored locally on a PC.

● Embedded Security allows creation of a personal secure drive(PSD) for protecting user data.

● Embedded Security supports third-party applications (such asMicrosoft Outlook and Internet Explorer) for protected digitalcertificate operations.

Java Card Security for HP ProtectTools ● Java Card Security configures the HP ProtectTools Java Card foruser authentication before the operating system loads.

● Java Card Security configures separate Java Cards for anadministrator and a user.

BIOS Configuration for HP ProtectTools ● BIOS Configuration provides access to power-on user andadministrator password management.

● BIOS Configuration provides an alternative to the pre-boot BIOSconfiguration utility known as f10 Setup.

● DriveLock, enhanced with the embedded security chip, helpsprotect a hard drive from unauthorized access, even if it isremoved from a system, without requiring the user to rememberany additional passwords beyond the embedded security chipuser password.

Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools ● Device Access Manager allows IT managers to control access todevices based on user profiles.

● Device Access Manager prevents unauthorized users fromremoving data using external storage media and from introducingviruses into the system from external media.

● The administrator can disable access to writeable devices forspecific individuals or groups of users.

Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools ● Drive Encryption provides complete, full-volume hard driveencryption.

● Drive Encryption forces pre-boot authentication in order to decryptand access the data.

2 Chapter 1 Introduction to security ENWW

Accessing HP ProtectTools SecurityTo access HP ProtectTools Security from Windows® Control Panel:

▲ Select Start > All Programs > HP ProtectTools Security Manager.

NOTE: After you have configured the Credential Manager module, you can also open HPProtectTools by logging on to Credential Manager directly from the Windows logon screen. Formore information, refer to “Logging on to Windows with Credential Manager on page 17.”

ENWW Accessing HP ProtectTools Security 3

Achieving key security objectivesThe HP ProtectTools modules can work together to provide solutions for a variety of security issues,including the following key security objectives:

● Protecting against targeted theft

● Restricting access to sensitive data

● Preventing unauthorized access from internal or external locations

● Creating strong password policies

Protecting against targeted theftAn example of this type of incident would be the targeted theft of a computer containing confidentialdata and customer information at an airport security checkpoint. The following features help protectagainst targeted theft:

● The pre-boot authentication feature, if enabled, helps prevent access to the operating system. Seethe following procedures:

● “Enabling and disabling smart card power-on authentication support on page 47”

● “Enabling and disabling power-on authentication support for Embedded Securityon page 48”

● “Assigning a name to a Java Card on page 40”

● “Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools on page 59”

● DriveLock helps ensure that data cannot be accessed even if the hard drive is removed andinstalled into an unsecured system. See “Enabling and disabling Automatic DriveLock hard driveprotection on page 49.”

● The Personal Secure Drive feature, provided by the Embedded Security for HP ProtectToolsmodule, encrypts sensitive data to help ensure it cannot be accessed without authentication. Seethe following procedures:

● Embedded Security “Setup procedures on page 28”

● “Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 31”

Restricting access to sensitive dataSuppose a contract auditor is working onsite and has been given computer access to review sensitivefinancial data; you do not want the auditor to be able to print the files or save them to a writeable devicesuch as a CD. The following features help restrict access to data:

● Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools allows IT managers to restrict access to writeabledevices so sensitive information cannot be printed or copied from the hard drive onto removablemedia. See “Device class configuration (advanced) on page 56.”

● The DriveLock helps ensure that data cannot be accessed even if the hard drive is removed andinstalled into an unsecured system. See “Enabling and disabling Automatic DriveLock hard driveprotection on page 49.”

4 Chapter 1 Introduction to security ENWW

Preventing unauthorized access from internal or external locationsIf a PC containing confidential data and customer information is accessed from an internal or externallocation, unauthorized users may be able to gain entry to corporate network resources or data fromfinancial services, an executive, or R&D team, or private information such as patient records or personalfinancial data. The following features help prevent unauthorized access:

● The pre-boot authentication feature, if enabled, helps prevent access to the operating system. Seethe following procedures:

● “Enabling and disabling smart card power-on authentication support on page 47”

● “Enabling and disabling power-on authentication support for Embedded Securityon page 48”

● “Assigning a name to a Java Card on page 40”

● “Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools on page 59”

● Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools helps protect sensitive user data or credentials storedlocally on a PC using the following procedures:

● Embedded Security “Setup procedures on page 28”

● “Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 31”

● Using the following procedures, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools helps ensure that anunauthorized user cannot get passwords or access to password-protected applications:

● Credential Manager “Setup procedures on page 12”

● “Using Single Sign On on page 18”

● Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools allows IT managers to restrict access to writeabledevices so sensitive information cannot be copied from the hard drive. See “Simpleconfiguration on page 55.”

● The Personal Secure Drive feature encrypts sensitive data to help ensure it cannot be accessedwithout authentication using the following procedures:

● Embedded Security “Setup procedures on page 28”

● “Using the Personal Secure Drive on page 31”

Creating strong password policiesIf a mandate goes into effect that requires the use of strong password policy for dozens of Web-basedapplications and databases, Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools provides a protected repositoryfor passwords and Single Sign On convenience using the following procedures:

● Credential Manager “Setup procedures on page 12”

● “Using Single Sign On on page 18”

For stronger security, Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools then protects that repository of usernames and passwords. This allows users to maintain multiple strong passwords without having to writethem down or try to remember them. See Embedded Security “Setup procedures on page 28.”

ENWW Achieving key security objectives 5

Additional security elementsAssigning security roles

In managing computer security (particularly for large organizations), one important practice is to divideresponsibilities and rights among various types of administrators and users.

NOTE: In a small organization or for individual use, these roles may all be held by the sameperson.

For HP ProtectTools, the security duties and privileges can be divided into the following roles:

● Security officer—Defines the security level for the company or network and determines the securityfeatures to deploy, such as Java™ Cards, biometric readers, or USB tokens.

NOTE: Many of the features in HP ProtectTools can be customized by the security officerin cooperation with HP. For more information, see the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com.

● IT administrator—Applies and manages the security features defined by the security officer. Canalso enable and disable some features. For example, if the security officer has decided to deployJava Cards, the IT administrator can enable Java Card BIOS security mode.

● User—Uses the security features. For example, if the security officer and IT administrator haveenabled Java Cards for the system, the user can set the Java Card PIN and use the card forauthentication.

Managing HP ProtectTools passwordsMost of the HP ProtectTools Security Manager features are secured by passwords. The following tablelists the commonly used passwords, the software module where the password is set, and the passwordfunction.

The passwords that are set and used by IT administrators only are indicated in this table as well. Allother passwords may be set by regular users or administrators.

ENWW Additional security elements 7

Creating a secure passwordWhen creating passwords, you must first follow any specifications that are set by the program. Ingeneral, however, consider the following guidelines to help you create strong passwords and reducethe chances of your password being compromised:

● Use passwords with more than 6 characters, preferably more than 8.

● Mix the case of letters throughout your password.

● Whenever possible, mix alphanumeric characters and include special characters and punctuationmarks.

● Substitute special characters or numbers for letters in a key word. For example, you can use thenumber 1 for letters I or L.

● Combine words from 2 or more languages.

● Split a word or phrase with numbers or special characters in the middle, for example,“Mary2-2Cat45.”

● Do not use a password that would appear in a dictionary.

● Do not use your name for the password, or any other personal information, such as birth date, petnames, or mother's maiden name, even if you spell it backwards.

● Change passwords regularly. You might change only a couple of characters that increment.

● If you write down your password, do not store it in a commonly visible place very close to thecomputer.

● Do not save the password in a file, such as an e-mail, on the computer.

● Do not share accounts or tell anyone your password.

Data loss in removablestorage occurs if thestorage media is removedprior to completing thenew data generation ortransfer.

Removing storage media such as aMultiBay hard drive still shows PSDavailability and does not generate errorswhile adding/modifying data to the PSD.After the system is restarted, the PSDdoes not reflect file changes thatoccurred while the removable storagewas unavailable.

Do not remove a PSD before data generation ortransfer is complete. This issue is only experienced ifthe user accesses the PSD, then removes the harddrive before completing new data generation ortransfer.

During uninstall, if the userhas not initialized theBasic User and opens theAdministration tool, theDisable option is notavailable and Uninstallerwill not continue until theAdministration tool isclosed.

The user has the option of uninstallingeither without disabling the TPM or byfirst disabling the TPM (through theAdministration tool), and thenuninstalling. Accessing theAdministration tool requires Basic UserKey initialization. If basic initialization hasnot occurred, all options are inaccessibleto the user.

Since the user has explicitly chosen toopen the Administration tool (byclicking Yes in the dialog boxprompting Click Yes to openEmbedded Security Administrationtool), uninstall waits until theAdministration tool is closed. If the userclicks No in that dialog box, theAdministration tool does not open at alland uninstall proceeds.

The Administration tool is used for disabling the TPMchip, but that option is not available unless the BasicUser Key has already been initialized. If it has not beeninitialized, select OK or Cancel to continue with theuninstallation.

The system may lock up with a blackscreen and nonresponding keyboardand mouse instead of showing welcome(logon) screen when using fast-switchingwith minimal RAM.

The root cause is suspected to be a timing issue in lowmemory configurations.

Integrated graphics uses UMA architecture taking 8 MBof memory, which leaves only 120 MB available to theuser. The error is generated when this 120 MB is sharedby both users who are logged on and are fast-user-switching.

Minor truncation duringsetup of Japanese isobserved in functionaldescriptions.

Functional descriptions during customsetup option during installation wizardare truncated.

HP will correct this in a future release.

EFS Encryption workswithout a password beingtyped in the prompt.

By allowing the prompt for Userpassword to time out, encryption is stillavailable on a file or folder.

The ability to encrypt does not require passwordauthentication, since this is a feature of the MicrosoftEFS encryption. Decryption will require the userpassword to be supplied.

Secure e-mail issupported, even whensecure e-mail is notspecified in the UserInitialization Wizard orwhen secure e-mailconfiguration is disabled inuser policies.

Embedded security software and thewizard do not control settings of an e-mail client (Outlook, Outlook Express, orNetscape).

This behavior is as designed. Configuration of TPM e-mail settings does not prohibit editing encryptionsettings directly in an e-mail client. Usage of secure e-mail is set and controlled by 3rd-party applications. TheHP wizard allows linkage to the three referenceapplications for immediate customization.

Running Large ScaleDeployment a secondtime on the same PC or ona previously initialized PCoverwrites EmergencyRecovery and EmergencyToken files. The new filesare useless for recovery.

Running Large Scale Deployment on anypreviously initialized HP ProtectToolsEmbedded Security system rendersexisting Recovery Archives andRecovery Tokens useless by overwritingthose XML files.

HP is working to resolve the XML-file-overwrite issueand will provide a solution in a future SoftPaq.

Automated logon scriptsdo not function during userrestore in EmbeddedSecurity.

The error occurs after the user performsthe following actions:

● Initializes owner and user inEmbedded Security (using thedefault locations—MyDocuments).

● Resets the chip to factory settingsin the BIOS.

● Reboots the computer.

● Begins to restore EmbeddedSecurity. During the restoreprocess, Credential Manager asksif the system can automate thelogon to Infineon TPM UserAuthentication. If the user selectsYes, the location ofSPEmRecToken is automaticallydisplayed in the text box.

Even though this location is correct, thefollowing error message is displayed: NoEmergency Recovery Token isprovided. Select the token locationthe Emergency Recovery Tokenshould be retrieved from.

Click the Browse button on the screen to select thelocation, and the restore process proceeds.

Multiple-User PSDs do notfunction in a fast-user-switching environment.

This error occurs when multiple usershave been created and given a PSD withthe same drive letter. If an attempt ismade to fast-user-switch between userswhen the PSD is loaded, the seconduser's PSD is unavailable.

The second user's PSD will be available only if it isreconfigured to use another drive letter or if the first useris logged off.

The PSD is disabled andcannot be deleted afterformatting the hard driveon which the PSD wasgenerated.

The PSD icon is still visible, but the errormessage drive is not accessible isdisplayed when the user attempts toaccess the PSD.

The user is not able to delete the PSDand the following message isdisplayed: your PSD is still in use,please be sure that your PSD contains

As designed: If a customer force-deletes or disconnectsfrom the storage location of the PSD data, theEmbedded Security PSD drive emulation continues tofunction and will produce errors based on lack ofcommunication with the missing data.

Short description Details Solution

no open files and is not accessed byanother process. The user must rebootthe system in order to delete the PSDand it is not loaded after reboot.

An internal error isdetected when the user isrestoring from theAutomatic BackupArchive.

In Embedded Security, if the user clicksthe Restore under Backup option torestore from the automatic backupArchive and then selectsSPSystemBackup.xml, the RestoreWizard fails and the following errormessage is displayed: The selectedBackup Archive does not match therestore reason. Please select anotherarchive and continue.

If the user selects SpSystemBackup.xml when theSpBackupArchive.xml is required, the EmbeddedSecurity Wizard fails and displays the followingmessage: An internal Embedded Security error hasbeen detected.

The user must select the correct XML file to match therequired reason.

The processes are working as designed and functionproperly; however, the internal Embedded Securityerror message is not clear and should state a moreappropriate message. HP is working to enhance this infuture products.

The security systemexhibits a restore errorwith multiple users.

During the restore process, if theadministrator selects users to restore,the users not selected are not able torestore the keys when trying to restore ata later time. A decryption processfailed error message is displayed.

The non-selected users can be restored by resettingthe TPM, running the restore process, and selecting allusers before the next default daily backup runs. If theautomated backup runs, it overwrites the non-restoredusers and their data is lost. If a new system backup isstored, the previous unselected users cannot berestored.

Also, the user must restore the entire system backup.An Archive Backup can be restored individually.

Resetting System ROM todefault hides the TPM.

Resetting the system ROM to defaulthides the TPM to Windows. This doesnot allow the security software to operateproperly and makes TPM-encrypted datainaccessible.

Unhide the TPM in BIOS:

Open the Computer Setup (f10) Utility, navigate toSecurity > Device security, and then modify the fieldfrom Hidden to Available.

Automatic backup doesnot work with the mappeddrive.

When an administrator sets upAutomatic Backup in EmbeddedSecurity, it creates an entry inWindows > Tasks > Scheduled Task.This Windows Scheduled Task is set touse NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for rightsto execute the backup. This worksproperly to any local drive.

When the administrator insteadconfigures the Automatic Backup to saveto a mapped drive, the process failsbecause the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEMdoes not have the rights to use themapped drive.

If the Automatic Backup is scheduled tooccur upon logon, Embedded SecurityTNA Icon displays the followingmessage: The Backup Archivelocation is currently not accessible.Click here if you want to backup to atemporary archive until the BackupArchive is accessible again. If theAutomatic Backup is scheduled for aspecific time, however, the backup failswithout displaying notice of the failure.

The workaround is to change the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM to (computer name)\(admin name). This isthe default setting if the Scheduled Task is createdmanually.

HP is working to provide future product releases withdefault settings that include computer name\adminname.

Embedded Securitycannot be temporarilydisabled in the EmbeddedSecurity GUI.

The current 4.0 software was designedfor HP Notebook 1.1B implementations,as well as supporting HP Desktop 1.2implementations.

This option to disable is still supported inthe software interface for TPM 1.1platforms.

Device Access Manager for HP ProtectToolsShort description Details Solution

Users have been deniedaccess to devices withinDevice Access Manager,but the devices are stillaccessible.

Simple Configuration and/or DeviceClass Configuration have been usedwithin Device Access Manager to denyusers access to devices. Despite beingdenied access, users can still access thedevices.

Verify that the HP ProtectTools Device Locking servicehas started.

As an administrative user, browse to Control Panel >Administrative Tools > Services. In the Serviceswindow, search for the HP ProtectTools DeviceLocking/Auditing service. Be sure that the service isstarted and that the startup type is Automatic.

A user has unexpectedaccess to a device or auser is unexpectedlydenied access to a device.

Device Access Manager has been usedto deny users access to some devicesand allow users access to other devices.When the user is using the system, theycan access devices they believe DeviceAccess Manager has denied and aredenied access to devices they believeDevice Access Manager should allow.

The Device Class Configuration within Device AccessManager should be used to investigate the Usersdevice settings.

Select Security Manager > Device Access Manager> Device Class Configuration. Expand the levels inthe Device Class tree and review the settingsapplicable to the User. Check for any “Deny”permissions that may be set on the user or anyWindows Group of which they may be a member, e.g.,Users, Administrators.

Allow or deny—whichtakes precedence?

Within Device Class Configuration, thefollowing configuration has been set:

● The Allow permission has beengranted to a Windows group (e.g.,BUILTIN\Administrators) and theDeny permission has been grantedto another Windows group (e.g.,BUILTIN\Users) at the same level inthe device class hierarchy (e.g.,DVD/CD-ROM Drives).

If a user is a member of both thosegroups (e.g., Administrator), which takesprecedence?

The user is denied access to the device. Deny takesprecedence over Allow.

Access is denied due to the way in which Windowsworks out the effective permission for the device. Onegroup is denied, and one group is allowed, but the useris a member of both groups. The user is deniedbecause denying access is given precedence overallowing access.

One workaround is to deny the Users group at the DVD/CD-ROM Drives level and to allow the Administratorsgroup at the level below DVD/CD-ROM Drives.

A further workaround would be to have specificWindows groups, one for allowing access to DVD/CDand one for denying access to DVD/CD. Specific userswould then be added to the appropriate group.

HP ProtectTools—Unrestricted access oruncontrolled administratorprivileges pose securityrisk.

Numerous risks are possible withunrestricted access to the client PC,including the following:

● Deletion of PSD

● Malicious modification of usersettings

● Disabling of security policies andfunctions

Administrators are encouraged to follow “bestpractices” in restricting end-user privileges andrestricting user access.

Unauthorized users should not be grantedadministrative privileges.

The BIOS and OSEmbedded Securitypasswords are out ofsynch.

If a user does not validate a newpassword as the BIOS EmbeddedSecurity password, the BIOS EmbeddedSecurity password reverts back to theoriginal embedded security passwordthrough f10 BIOS.

This is functioning as designed; these passwords canbe re-synchronized by changing the OS Basic Userpassword and authenticating it at the BIOS EmbeddedSecurity password prompt.

Only one user can log onto the system after TPMpreboot authentication isenabled in BIOS.

The TPM BIOS PIN is associated withthe first user who initializes the usersetting. If a computer has multiple users,the first user is, in essence, theadministrator. The first user will have togive his TPM user PIN to other users touse to log on.

This is functioning as designed; HP recommends thatthe customer's IT department follow good securitypolicies for rolling out their security solution andensuring that the BIOS administrator password isconfigured by IT administrators for system levelprotection.

The user has to changetheir PIN to make TPMpreboot work after a TPMfactory reset.

The user has to change their PIN orcreate another user to initialize their usersetting to make TPM BIOSauthentication work after reset. There isno option to make TPM BIOSauthentication work.

This is as designed; the factory reset clears the BasicUser Key. The user must change his user PIN or createa new user to re-initialize the Basic User Key.

Power-onauthentication supportis not set to default usingEmbedded SecurityReset to FactorySettings

In Computer Setup, the Power-onauthentication support option is notbeing reset to factory settings whenusing the Embedded Security Deviceoption Reset to Factory Settings. Bydefault, Power-on authenticationsupport is set to Disable.

Power-On Authentication prompts theuser to log on to the system using theTPM password, but, if the user pressesf10 to access the BIOS, the user isgranted Read rights access only.

To be able to write to BIOS, the user must type the BIOSpassword instead of the TPM password at the Power-on Authentication window.

The BIOS asks for boththe old and newpasswords throughComputer Setup after theOwner password ischanged.

The BIOS asks for both the old and newpasswords through Computer Setupafter the Owner password is changed inEmbedded Security Windows software.
