SSL certificates for Intel Core vPro processors

Entrust has added SSL certificates for Intel Core vPro processors to its large portfolio of digital certificate offerings. This new capability, core to an identity-based security approach, will allow Intel Core vPro Technology customers to use encrypted access to enable remote maintenance of enterprise PCs.

Entrust SSL Certificates for Intel Core vPro processors are purchased by enterprises or organizations to authenticate IT staff to more securely administer any PC using Intel Core vPro technology on a corporate network — even when the machine is turned off or disabled — for maintenance and other necessary tasks.

Thanks to the embedded roots and the deployed SSL certificate, the channel between the networked machine and the administrator is encrypted.

Intel will embed Entrust certificates in the latest 5th Generation Intel Core vPro processors and chipsets.
