Infineon Security Platform Migration

Migration involves securely copying and transferring user security credentials from a source platform to a destination platform. Depending on the current configuration of the system, the Infineon Security Platform User can migrate user keys and certificates to or from the local Infineon Security Platform.

The functionality is covered by the Infineon Security Platform Migration Wizard.

Availability of page:
  • This page is only available on an initialized Security Platform.
  • This page is not available in server mode as migration of user-specific security credentials from a source platform to destination platform is handled by the Trusted Computing Management Server, i.e. the administrator or the user on the local client system does not have to perform this task.
