1.2Security Functions

Setting the Enhanced Security Mode to [ON] will validate the security function of this machine. For details of the settings of different security functions to be changed by turning [ON] the Enhanced Security Mode, see

"Enhancing the Security Function" on page 2-9.

Setting the Enhanced Security Mode to [ON] will enhance the authentication function. Access control is then provided through password authentication for any access to the Administrator Settings, User Authentication mode, Account Track mode, User Box, a User Box data file, and a Secure Print Document file. Access is thereby granted only to the authenticated user.

A password that can be set must meet the requirements of the Password Rules. The machine does not accept setting of an easily decipherable password. For details of the Password Rules, see "Password Rules" on page 1-8.

If a wrong password is entered, during password authentication, a predetermined number of times (once to three times) set by the Administrator of the machine or more, the machine determines that it is unauthorized access through Prohibited Functions When Authentication Error, prohibiting any further entry of the password. By prohibiting the password entry operation, the machine prevents unauthorized use or removal of data, thereby ensuring secured used of the machine.

To cancel the password entry operation prohibited condition, the Administrator must perform the Release Setting. When the Administrator performs the Release Setting for the operation prohibited condition, a sound operation control in utmost security is achieved under the control of the Administrator.

Setting the HDD Lock Password provides the following security function. That is, even if the HDD is illegally replaced with another, the HDD authentication function prohibits access to the HDD, when the HDD Lock Password is yet to be set or there is a mismatch in the passwords. In addition, should the HDD be removed unawares, the HDD Lock Password locks the HDD protecting data contained in the HDD. Furthermore, by mounting the optional Security Kit SC-503 and setting the Encryption Key, the data stored in the HDD is encrypted, thereby protecting the data in the HDD. Note, however, that the HDD Lock Password and Encryption Key do not prevent the HDD from being physically removed. Make sure of a good operation control.

When the machine is to be discarded, or use of a leased machine is terminated at the end of the leasing contract, the Overwrite All Data function overwrites and erases all data stored in all spaces of the HDD. The function also resets all passwords saved in the NVRAM to factory settings, preventing leak of data. For details of items to be cleared by Overwrite All Data function, see "Types of Data Cleared by Overwrite All Data Function" on page 1-10.

1.2.1Check Count Clear Conditions

The following are the conditions for clearing or resetting the check count of the number of wrong entries at the time of authentication by the Enhanced Security Mode.

<Administrator Settings>

-Authentication of Administrator Settings is successful.

<User Authentication Mode>

-User Authentication mode is successful.

-Release of Prohibited Functions When Authentication Error is executed.

1.3Data to be Protected

The underlying concept of this machine toward security is "to protect data that can be disclosed against the intention of users."

The following types of image files that have been stored in the machine and made available for use by its users are protected while the machine is being used.

-Image files stored by Secure Print

-Image files stored in Personal User Box, Public User Box and Group User Box

The following types of data stored in the HDD are protected when use of a leased machine is terminated at the end of the leasing contract, the machine is to be discarded, or when the HDD is stolen.

-Image files stored by Secure Print

-Image files stored in Personal User Box, Public User Box and Group User Box

-Image files of a job in the queue

-Image files other than Secure Print file and User Box file

-Data files left in the data space used as image files

-Temporary data files generated during print image file processing

-Destination recipient data (e-mail address, telephone number)

This machine offers specific functions as data protection methods: the SSL function that ensures confidentiality of images transmitted and received over the network and the S/MIME function that is used for encrypting image files.

The machine assumes an office environment that responds to most stringent security requirements by carrying out communications of highly confidential image data transmitted and received among different pieces of IT equipment within an office LAN via reliable paths and protecting such data through proper encryption.

1.4Precautions for Operation Control

This machine and the data handled by this machine should be used in an office environment that meets the following conditions.

Roles and Requirements of the Administrator

The Administrator should take full responsibility for controlling the machine, thereby ensuring that no improper operations are performed.

<To Achieve Effective Security>

-A person who is capable of taking full responsibility for controlling the machine should be appointed as the Administrator to make sure that no improper operations are performed.

-When using an SMTP server (mail server) or an DNS server, each server should be appropriately managed by the Administrator and should be periodically checked to confirm that settings have not been changed without permission.

Password Usage Requirements

The Administrator must control the Administrator Password, HDD Lock Password, Encryption Key, authPassword, and priv-Password appropriately so that they may not be leaked. These passwords should not be ones that can be easily guessed. The user, on the other hand, should control the User Box Password, Secure Print Password, and User Password appropriately so that they may not be leaked. Again, these passwords should not be ones that can be easily guessed. For the Public User Box shared among a number of users, the User Box Password should be appropriately controlled so that it may not be leaked to anyone who is not the user of the Public User Box.

<To Achieve Effective Security>

-Make absolutely sure that only the Administrator knows the Administrator Password, HDD Lock Password, Encryption Key, auth-Password, and priv-Password.

Precautions for Use of Various Types of Applications

When PageScope Web Connection or an application of various other types is used, the password control function of the application stores the password that has been entered in your PC. If you want the password not stored, disable the password control function of the application.

When using the PageScope Web Connection or an application of various other types, use one that shows "*" or "●" for the password entered.

If the client PC uses the Internet Explorer or other type of web browser, "SSL v3" or "TLS v1" should be used, not "SSL v2," for the SSL setting.

Encrypting communications

The following are the cryptographic algorithms of key exchange and communications encryption systems supported in generation of encryption keys.

- TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5

- TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

2

Note

No algorithms can be selected during generation of encryption keys. SSL v3 is automatically selected for the SSL setting according to the application and browser. Do not therefore change the setting manually to SSL v2.

Detail

SSL encryption communication is not applicable to transmission of Secure Print in PageScope Direct Print.

IPP printing

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a function that allows Secure Print Documents and image data stored in boxes to be printed via the Internet by using the HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) of the TCP/IP Protocol. IPPS (IPP over SSL/TLS) is the type of IPP that performs the SSL encryption communication.

<IPP setting on Windows Vista>

Windows Vista, which offers enhanced security functions, gives a certificate error message if the SSL certificate is one that is not issued by a certification body. In such cases, it becomes necessary to register with Windows Vista the certificate of this machine as that issued by a reliable party for the computer account.

First, register Host Name and IP address of this machine in the DNS server in advance. Then, in TCP/IP Settings of PageScope Web Connection, set the DNS Host Name and DNS Default Domain Name registered with the DNS server.

It should also be noted that, for the certificate to be imported, a certificate for SSL encryption communication should be registered in PageScope Web Connection and exported in advance as the certificate including the public key.

2

From "Continue to this website," call the PageScope Web Connection window to the screen.

Click "Certificate Error" to display the certificate. Then, click "Install Certificate" to install the certificate.

3 Display the physical stores. Then, deploy the certificate, which has earlier been exported, in "Local Computer" of "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" to thereby import the certificate.

<IPPS printing settings in Windows Vista>

Through additional printer setting, type "https://Host Name.Domain Name/ipp."

For [Host Name] and [Domain Name], specify the names set with the DNS server.

http:// <IP address of this machine> /ipp

E.g.: If the machine IP address is 192.168.1.20

Type http://192.168.1.20/ipp

To set IPPS printing:

Type https:// <IP address of the machine> /ipp.

2.1Accessing the Administrator Settings

This machine implements authentication of the user of the Administrator Settings function through the 8-digit Administrator Password that verifies the identity as the Administrator of the person who accesses the function. During the authentication procedure, the Administrator Password entered for the authentication purpose appears as "*" or "●" on the display.

Two different methods are available for accessing Administrator Settings. In Administrator Settings, the settings for the machine system and network can be registered or changed. In User Mode, the same settings as the user authority can be made. For box setting operations, however, the same functions can be set as those of Administrator Settings. User Mode also allows jobs to be checked or deleted, which is not possible in Administrator Settings.

When the Enhanced Security Mode is set to [ON], the number of times in which authentication fails is counted.

2.1.1Accessing the Administrator Settings

The machine does not accept access to the Administrator Settings under any of the following conditions. Wait for some while before attempting to gain access to the Administrator Settings again.

- The Administrator Settings has been logged on to through access made from the PC. - A remote operation is being performed from an application on the PC.

- There is a job being executed by the machine.

- There is a reserved job (timer TX, fax redial waiting, etc.) in the machine. - Immediately after the main power switch has been turned ON.

- A malfunction code is displayed on the machine.

2.2Enhancing the Security Function

When access to the Administrator of the machine by the Administrator Settings via the control panel is authenticated, the machine enables setting of the Enhanced Security Mode that allows settings for enhancing each of different security functions to be converted all at once.

In the Enhanced Security Mode, the machine allows selection of whether to use the Enhanced Security Mode or not. If the Enhanced Security Mode is set to [ON], a count is taken of the number of unauthorized accesses to the Administrator Settings, User Authentication, Account Track, SNMP authentication, all Secure Print Documents, and all User Boxes. A function is also set that determines whether each password meets predetermined requirements. The security function is thus enhanced in the Enhanced Security Mode.

The following settings must first be made before the Enhanced Security Mode is set to [ON].

2

Note

First, set the Encryption Key. To set the Encryption Key, HDD Format must first be executed. Execution of the HDD Format clears various setting values. For details of items that are cleared by HDD Format, see "Items cleared by HDD Format" on page 2-10.

If both the HDD Lock Password and Encryption Key have been set, it is not possible to cancel the setting of either one of these.

If initialization is executed by the Service Engineer, set the Administrator Password and turn [ON] the Enhanced Security Mode again.

2.3Preventing Unauthorized Access

When access by the Administrator of the machine through the Administrator Settings via the control panel is authenticated, the machine enables setting of the operation of Prohibited Functions When Authentication Error. The machine then takes a count of the number of unsuccessful accesses to the Administrator Settings, User Authentication, Account Track, SNMP authentication, Secure Print authentication, and User Box authentication to prohibit the authentication operation.

Either [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] can be selected for Prohibited Functions When Authentication Error. The factory setting is [Mode 1]. If the Enhanced Security Mode is set to [ON], it is prohibited to change the setting from [Mode 2] (check count: three times). It is nonetheless possible to change the check count to select from among once, twice, or three times. If [Mode 2] is selected, the Release Time Settings function is enabled. When the Administrator Settings is set into the access lock state, the main power switch is turned off and on and, after the lapse of a predetermined period of time after the machine is turned on again, the access lock state of the Administrator Settings is canceled. The Release Time Settings function allows the period of time, after the lapse of which the access lock state of the Administrator Settings is canceled, to be set in the range between 1 and 60 min. The factory setting is 5 min. For details of each mode, see the table below.

Description
