HP Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2

Safeguard sensitive user data

The TPM is an easy-to-install security chip that enables secure storage of information, such as passwords and security keys. By automatically sealing device encryption keys to the TPM, the printer or multifunction product (MFP) strengthens protection of encrypted credentials and data that it stores. The TPM "wraps" encryption keys with its own storage root key, which is stored within the TPM.

Provide secure device identity

Certificate private keys are both generated by and protected by the TPM, so you can be assured that even your most sensitive client information, data, and documents are safeguarded. The printer or MFP uses the created certificates to prove it is the device it claims to be. Because the certificate private keys never leave the TPM, the identity certificates cannot be spoofed or copied, helping ensure that information received from the device is genuine and that information sent to the device is going to the intended destination.

Gain peace of mind

The TPM is designed to international industry standards, specifically the TPM 1.2 standard set by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). And when it comes time to dispose of your printer or MFP, you are able to make the printer or MFP stop using the TPM. When this happens, the TPM will permanently delete the storage root key, and any data that was protected by it cannot be retrieved by anyone who subsequently has access to the device.

Install quickly and easily

Start safeguarding your sensitive user data right away - installation requires minimal technical expertise. Simply attach the TPM accessory to the device formatter and turn on the device. The TPM automatically pairs with your printer or MFP upon installation. The relevant security keys, passwords, and certificates will automatically be secured by the TPM.
