Trusted Platform Module

Introduction

Matrix42 security can be taken to a new level via the use of a TPM chip found on most business-oriented computers. Matrix42 Full Disk Encryption offers the following advantages when using the TPM chip:

•  The hard disk Key Encryption Key (KEK) is encrypted through the TPM using an RSA key. This means that the hard disk cannot be removed and placed in another computer because the encryption used for the KEK is unique to the original TPM chip.
• Disk Roaming can be achieved in an emergency scenario via the BartPE plug-in by temporarily deactivating the TPM. As an alternative you can add TPM key files from other computers to Matrix42 Full Disk Encryption so that a hard disk can be easily transported and used on a backup computer.
