With more people storing sensitive files on notebook PCs, security is a growing concern.
And in response, Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) has released a new product that builds on the features of Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional to protect the security of notebook PCs. The HP Mobile ProtectTools 2000 Smart Card security kit, an accessory available for all HP OmniBook notebook PCs running Windows 2000, capitalizes on key security features in the operating system to protect and authenticate sensitive user data and safeguards data in an encrypted, tamper-proof removable smart card.
The Smart Card security kit includes the necessary software, a PC card, and two smart cards, including a back-up card. Owners of HP OmniBook PCs can use the smart card and a personal identification number (PIN) to log on to Windows 2000. Without the smart card in place, the notebook cannot even be turned on. Users can also store their digital certificates and other highly sensitive data in the credit-card-sized smart card.
