Trusted Execution Technology
The Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-2600 support Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology (Intel
®
TXT),
which is a robust security environment. Designed to help protect against software-based
attacks, Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology integrates new security features and capabilities
into the processor, chipset and other platform components. When used in conjunction with Intel
®
Virtualization Technology, Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology provides hardware-rooted trust
for your virtual applications.
This hardware-rooted security provides a general-purpose, safer computing environment
capable of running a wide variety of operating systems and applications to increase the
confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information without compromising the usability of
the platform.
Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology requires a computer system with Intel
®
Virtualization
Technology enabled (both VT-x and VT-d), an Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology-enabled
processor, chipset and BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules, and an Intel
®
Trusted Execution
Technology compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a
virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition, Intel
®
Trusted Execution
Technology requires the system to include a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing
Group TPM PC Client Specifications, Revision 1.2.
When available, Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology can be enabled or disabled in the
processor by a BIOS Setup option.
