Acer TPM-based eDataSecurity Management
Acer TPM-based eDataSecurity Management is a handy file encryption utility
that protects your files from being accessed by unauthorized persons. It is
conveniently integrated with Windows Explorer as a shell extension for quick
and easy data encryption/decryption and also supports on-the-fly file encryption
for MSN Messenger and Microsoft Outlook.
The Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt you for a
supervisor password and default encryption. This encryption will be used to
encrypt files by default, or you can choose to enter your own file-specific
password when encrypting a file.
Acer eDataSecurity Management can be integrated with TPM on computers
equipped with the TPM hardware. On computers equipped with the TPM
hardware, there will be additional Acer eDataSecurity Management system
setup and administration procedures which allow the user to utilize TPM for the
PSD and the File/Folder encryption functions. If the "Use TPM" option is
selected during Acer eDataSecurity Management’s initial system setup or
system administration, the PSD and the File/Folder encryption functions will be
protected by TPM.
