Question:
HP Security Suite - nc8430
Hi,
I've had my HP nc8430 for about two weeks now, and love it. I've had a wee play with the security suite, including the embedded chip and credential manager, but am still pretty confused as to how the security features integrate together. I found the help section in the security suite pretty confusing, while the HP security user guide is too simplistic.
From a few of the comments on this forum it seems a lot of users are pretty confused by this feature...
Just wondering if any HP Guru(s) would like to write a brief tutotial/faq about the security features of the nc8430 (and other similar HP laptops)? If one has been written already, please could someone give me the link to it?
Some of the many questions I would like answered are:
1) Can the credential manager and embedded chip be integrated (eg so that all the login data stored by the credential manager is encrypted and stored by the embedded embedded chip)?
2) What is stringint security?
3) How secure is the credential manager? Would it be wise to ask it to remember things like internet banking logon details?
4) What exactly is a security 'key' or 'token'? Can one just use a normal USB drive as this, or do you need a specific USB key? What are the disadvantages of a virtual key?
5) What are embedded security certificates and how does one use/create them?
6) Is there any other software other than that provided by HP which can make use of:
a) the embedded security chip?
b) the fingerprint scanner?
7) How can I get the credential manager to log into applications like MSN messenger, or skype for me?
8) Any other important things someone new to these advanced security features (like me) should know?
Cheers for any help/info. If anyone else has questions, post them here-hopefully this thread will become a one stop shop for HP security related questions/answers...
