What’s TPM? Feature and benefits
Setting a New Standard for Motherboard Security
In today's computing environment, security threats such as viruses, worms, trojan attacks,
malicious hacking and data/identity theft, etc. are not only happening more frequently, but the
cost to victims of such attacks are also on the rise. While software solutions are able to
protect data to a certain degree, a higher level of security measures is needed to ensure you
do not become the next victim.

That is where a hardware based solution such as TPM (Trusted Platform Module) technology
can help. Trusted Platform Modules are hardware based security microcontrollers that store
keys, passwords and digital certificates and protects this data from external software attacks
and physical theft.

2048 bit
Encryption Key

Recognizing the need to protect users against today's computing security threats,
GIGABYTE is the first motherboard manufacturer to equip their motherboards with an
onboard TPM Module from Infineon with 2048 bit encryption key. But, they didn't stop there.
GIGABYTE has paired their TPM module with a security software interface called
GIGABYTE Ultra TPM, providing the Industry's highest level of data security through a
hardware + software design.
Introducing Ultra TPM by GIGABYTE 2008

The Benefits of GIGABYTE Ultra TPM

1.Security, manageability and flexibility that surpasses software-based encryption.
2.No password required. Users don't have to remember and keep entering their
password. This also means there is no password for someone to crack.
• Quick and effortless protection of data; plug in USB key to access data, or
remove to safeguard.
• Keeps data secure even when users are away from computer.

3.Optional backup of key stored in BIOS in case of misplaced key.

4.Very low CPU utilization. As all the encryption and decryption is done by the TPM,
users are able to do other tasks simultaneously.

A smarter , better way to protect your data
GIGABYTE Smart TPM provides the industries highest level of data protection with 2048 bit hardware encryption. Smart TPM allows users
to store their digital key on a USB thumb drive. In addition, using a Bluetooth®
addition, Smart TPM allows users to lock the protected data remotely using
enabled mobile phone.
