Trusted Platform Module is Vista-compatible

Munich, Germany: Infineon Technologies launched a software suite version for management of computers using Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) in enterprise environments. Together with the currently shipping Infineon Trusted Platform Module (TPM) v1.2, the TPM Professional Package builds a Windows Vista Ready secure solution compliant with the Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) 1.2 specification.

The TPM Professional Package v3.0 has a range of secure management capabilities, enabling system administrators in enterprise and SOHO (Small Office/ Home Office) environments to securely manage TPM-enabled desktops and notebooks, including setting policies, handling backup and restore, and securely migrating critical protected information from one TPM to another. The solution, which already supports several available operating systems, such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, is now Windows Vista Ready as a result of the company working closely with Microsoft.

The TPM v1.2 solution simplifies customer data protection through support of the Microsoft Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption.
