Infineon Technologies* TPM Pro EDIT!
http://www.infineon.comThe Infineon Management software enables the TPM user to back-up and migrate their secrets. Migration enables the secure and user controlled transfer of secrets to the TPM on another platform. The target PCs have to be authorized by the system administrator to maintain the system security. This mechanism allows users to utilize the secrets in a secure manner on different platforms. The solution strongly separates administrator and users giving the administrator policy rights but no access to the user data and secrets.TPM Management Tools and Capabilities The following capabilities are resident capabilities available from the TPM suppliers and OEM PC manufacturers. These capabilities include back-up, migration capabilities as well as "Data Protection" and "Secure Document Management and Electronic Signature Products". For more information regarding the market use of these products, please refer to the specific sections of this document. Additional information regarding TCG capable applications are also noted below "Available Vendor Solutions (TCG Capable)"

Broadcom is an industry leader within the security encryption market. The company features a host of industry firsts in security solutions but is most regarded as the driving force that brought high-performance multi-Gigabit technology to the security market via standalone solutions such as the BCM5850, BCM5840 and BCM5841. Unlike other standalone security chip providers, Broadcom has been able to integrate its security core technology within its extensive product line of Gigabit Ethernet controllers, broadband processors, switches, wireless networking applications, cable modems and cable set-top boxes.
