Intel® Desktop Board Software Provides Advanced Security, Multimedia, Integration.

Overview: Designing for the Digital Home and Office
Implementing and managing PCs just got simpler for integrators of both home and office desktops. Intel® Desktop Boards now come with a comprehensive and robust set of software applications that give integrators and end users everything from enhanced video and sound, to real-time collaboration between geographic locations, to security and trusted systems. These applications were selected to align with Intel's vision of the digital home and digital office, in which computers are more usable, more connected, and more secure at all times.

Intel is offering integrators three types of software with every Intel Desktop Board:

• Software for the digital home
• Software for the digital office
• Software tools for integrators

Software for the Digital Office

Intel Desktop Boards give you several powerful solutions focused on the digital office, from an advanced BIOS and specialized hardware, to desktop health and management tools, plus security for online sessions and personal information. Intel's unique features and value-added software make Intel Desktop Boards stand out from the competition, with tools that users demand in today's digital office and online, Internet-centric world.

EMBASSY* Trust Suite
From big businesses to individuals and across industry lines, one of the highest-priority concerns of users remains the security of their systems. Trusted Computing Group (TCG)-compliant solutions are increasingly in demand.

EMBASSY* Trust Suite (ETS) is a robust and practical set of services, applications, and utilities for a trusted computing environment. The suite makes it easy to enable the enhanced hardware-based security features of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chip included on Intel Desktop Boards.

With ETS Document Manager, you can easily create separate vaults of sensitive files that remain protected by the TPM's security. In a business environment, users can share one or more vaults with other users having TPM-enabled systems without compromising the protection of the vaults. Private Information Manager works behind the scenes to keep application and Web site passwords truly secure and in one place. When needed, this tool automatically retrieves data for email or Web site logins, shopping orders, banking, and other online activities, adding convenience without relying on insecure software. The TPM also supports uses such as secure digital signatures, which users can try out using SmartSignature*.

Underlying all of these applications is the Wave* TCG-Enabled cryptographic service provider (CSP). Requests for applications or certificates can use the Wave TCG-Enabled CSP to add hardware-based security to email, virtual private network (VPN) access, wireless network access, and more. To ensure recovery of the protected data, the Key Transfer Manager automatically backs up the appropriate TPM keys, which keep data safe. Finally, Launch Pad places all TPM-aware security applications in a single convenient location.
