Infineon Security Platform Solution - Quick Initialization Wizard

Welcome

This wizard page asks whether you want to perform a quick initialization or an advanced initialization.

Quick Initialization

Quick initialization, recommended for most users, combines platform and user initialization with default data file locations and default feature settings. Platform-specific steps are automatically performed without any user input. Some secret data and files required for administration and emergencies are generated automatically.

Storage of automatically generated secret data and files

You are recommended to use a removable media (e.g. USB flash drive) to store automatically generated secret data and files. If no removable media is available, output data must be stored on the local hard drive. This requires some additional data protection. As a consequence, you will have to memorize or save additional secret data, which you do not need if you store the data on a removable media.

Advanced Initialization

Advanced initialization, recommended for expert users, starts the Security Platform Initialization Wizard to perform platform-specific configuration steps. At the end of this wizard you can then continue with user-specific configuration steps via Security Platform User Initialization Wizard. Advanced initialization allows advanced configuration of secret data, data file locations and features.
Choose this initialization type, if you want to use Enhanced Authentication or BitLocker, or if you want to create a Personal Secure Drive (PSD) on a removable media (e.g. USB flash drive).
