3. EMBASSY Security Center
The EMBASSY Security Center (ESC) provides the tools for managing Trusted Platform security settings including platform owner management, user management, trusted drive management, and key management.
The ESC also provides multifactor authentication which allows users to select and configure authentication methods which include individual passwords, biometrics, smart cards, the TPM, or a combination thereof.
Users can access the ESC through Start > All Programs > Security by Wave Systems (Start Menu). Setup in the ESC includes establishing TPM ownership, initializing a user and configuring user authentication options for TPM applications and Windows.
Users may notice that certain functions in ESC are ghosted (inactive). This is usually because the user has not yet enabled a feature of ESC which other features depend upon. An example of this is on the Passwords Settings window where many of the functions will remain ghosted until the user performs initialization and then enables the TCG Security Password Vault. Another example is on the Windows Login window where an authentication option may be ghosted until activated by the user or administrator.
