Frequently Asked Questions

What does Preboot Authentication (PBA) guarantee?

PBA guarantees a secure, tamper-proof environment external to the operating system until credentials are confirmed.

How is the Encryption client linked to hardware security chips?

The client uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for its secure storage function and can provide encrypted containers.

What steps should I follow if my enrolled PBA recovery questions need updating?

Go to the Recovery Questions tab and click 'Re-enroll' to define new answers or use 'Delete' to remove them completely.
