The Dell E-series of notebooks features an additional cryptographic chip that will execute biometric template comparisons in hardware...
awk, I believe the TPM is where the biometric template comparison is executed (not an additional crytographic chip).
In fact, it's my understanding that Dell's new trademarked ControlVault is merely the TPM. I want to tell you, it's a very, very encouraging sign that Dell has finally moved to brand their Wave-enabled TPM environment, naming it ControlVault. This should help in getting Dell enterprise customers to activate their TPMs in order to utilize ControlVault. I also expect promotion of ControlVault will promote the procurement of ERAS for centralized remote management of ControlVault.
