Infineon Security Platform Solution

Initialization and Administration of the Infineon Security Platform

The initial status of the Infineon Security Platform is disabled by default on delivery to the customer. This ensures that no flow of confidential information from the Infineon Security Platform back to the platform manufacturer can occur in this phase, as there are no shared secrets in any form.

The current status of an Infineon Security Platform is not changed by the installation of the Infineon Security Platform Solution Software.

Before you can take advantage of your Infineon Security Platform you must:

• Enable the Infineon Security Platform. A specific description on how to enable the chip is available here:
  
• Setup your Infineon Security Platform and User by starting the Quick Initialization Wizard

In server mode the Security Platform gets automatically initialized if the client system is integrated into a Trust Domain with centralized management, i.e. the administrator does not have to perform this task.

Refer to Infineon Security Platform Solution Tools for detailed information about the wizards and administrative tools.

If the Infineon Security Platform and an Infineon Security Platform User have been setup, you are ready to obtain an Trusted Platform Module based certificate.

The operations that can be performed are controlled by the current status of the Infineon Security Platform. The status overview lists the possible status values.

Answers to the most common questions about Security Platform handling are contained in the frequently asked questions section.
