Infineon Security Platform Solution |
Tokens, Archives and other Security Platform management files
The Infineon Security Platform Solution uses several files for management tasks such as backup, Emergency Recovery or Password Reset (e.g. tokens and archives). Some of them are for the Security Platform Administrator, others are for Security Platform Users. Please make sure not to mix up these file types.
The following table gives an overview of Security Platform management files.
