WHITE PAPER SAMSUNG MFP SECURITY
1. Introduction
The security of valuable information was an easy process back in the early days of computing. All of the data was kept on tapes and disks, which were not accessible to anybody outside of the building. However, now with networks connecting everything to the outside world, security leaks can occur anywhere.
IT professionals are faced with managing an assortment of devices that can allow security breaches. This overwhelming burden of device management has led IT managers to demand better security features from the manufacturers of the devices they use.
Samsung has responded to the requests of our IT customers and created security features for our MFPs that protect valuable data from unauthorized access.
1.1 Information Security
In our digital information-based society, we have become more aware of the perils associated with sharing information. In the name of productivity we have created increasingly easier ways to share information, at faster speeds and with higher bandwidth. The downside to this increase in sharability is the decrease in our ability to secure our information. Search engines and sniffers are constantly monitoring networks for information, usually for innocuous purposes, but sometimes the reasons are malicious.
To address this situation we need to understand the path information travels and then we can identify the vulnerabilities the information can encounter. A simple path is one that uses a single connection such as the path from a computer to a printer:
A complex path can include several connections over various wired and wireless networks such as sending an email from a cell phone to several distant locations.
In the Information Technology field, our goal is to make information highly available, but only to the desired recipients. The tools we use to achieve this goal include data encryption and user authentication.

1.2 The Objectives of Multifunction Printer (MFP) Security
Information is a resource that by its nature is most valuable when it is being shared with a group working together to achieve a goal. It is this ability to share information over great distances at the speed of light that has created the technological world we live in today. Unfortunately the creation of so many ways to access information has also resulted in so many more ways for unauthorized access to information. So the dilemma IT professionals are faced with is “how do I balance high availability of information with high security?”
Many formulas and strategies have been developed to determine the level of security that is required and the amount of harm that would result from breaches in security. This is useful for accounting purposes to determine the cost of security. However these accounting tools do not help the IT professional implement security.
Samsung has targeted the MFP security as the area of information security where we can add the most value for our IT customers. MFPs offer many features that process information electronically and on paper. This means that the security objectives for MFPs must address and target the vulnerabilities of these features.

WHITE PAPER SAMSUNG MFP SECURITY
1.2.1 MFP Hardcopy Vulnerability
The primary task of an MFP is to print documents. Printed documents are vulnerable to both unintentional and intentional security breaches. Potential document security issues include the following:
• Unintentional removal
• Paper jams
• Intentional removal
• Copying
1.2.2 MFP Electronic Vulnerability
The additional tasks an MFP performs (Copy, FAX, Scan, Email, Network, Document Storage), create many more opportunities for security breaches. These tasks all share a common process – electronic routing of the information. During this electronic routing, the information can be stored on and transferred through many vulnerable locations on the MFP. These locations can include the following:
• Phone line (FAX)
• Ethernet (network connection)
• Hard Drive (stored documents from fax, E-mail, network, and scan)
• USB
1.2.3 Common Results of Having an Unsecured MFP
Some of the most common results associated with an unsecured MFP include the following:
• Unauthorized use by a malicious user
• Identity theft
• Stolen information
• Lawsuits from stolen information
• Loss of access
• Loss of productivity.

2. Security Regulatory Requirements
The importance of the information that is flowing through private and public devices has resulted in the need for broad regulations to protect this information. Some of these regulations were directly developed to protect information such as medical records. Other regulations are indirect effects from other sources such as the need for document audit trails for SOX financial regulation compliance.
Samsung is continuously working with our industry partners to create compatible MFPs that meet the regulatory requirements of today’s information infrastructure. The MFP security features presented in this paper are able to meet or exceed the current regulatory requirements of our customers.

3. Security Business Requi rements
Businesses today are constantly creating new ways to use information. IT professionals have the demanding task of protecting that information from new ways of abuse. The most successful strategy for protecting this information is by implementing best practices for user authorization and to use devices that provide a high level of security.
Samsung MFP devices employ high levels of security to meet or exceed today’s business security requirements. We are also working with our business customers to continuously improve our MFP security features.
3.1 Public Sector (Government / Education / Healthcare)
Security Requirements
Public sector entities have very specialized security needs. The military must be able to protect sensitive information from foreign interests. Schools need to be able to protect the integrity of their student’s grades. Healthcare systems must protect the privacy of their patients.
3.1.1 Government
U.S. government requirements include hard drive overwriting schemes that digitally shred the latent document information from the hard drive of a device. When devices with hard drives are removed from secure sites, the hard drives must be removed and physically destroyed.
Regulatory requirements that require these practices include the following:
Page - 10 Copyright 2014 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., All rights reserved.
• FISMA
This regulation requires a mandatory set of processes that must be followed for all information systems used or operated by a U.S. federal government agency.
• HSPD-12
A common identification standard used to ensure that government facilities and sensitive information stored in networks remain protected.
Page 11
SAMSUNG MFP SECURITY WHITE PAPER
3.1.2 Education
Education requirements include protecting data from teachers, students, or other staff who engage in unauthorized behavior, either knowingly or inadvertently. These activities can include: improper storage of passwords, students practicing their hacking abilities, and individuals attempting to access the system to modify their grades. Many of these risks can be avoided by implementing usage policies. These policies can add clarity to the tasks required of the network administrator. The policies should include the following:
• Password Policy
• Acceptable Use Policy;
• Anti-Virus Procedures;
• E-mail Policy;
• Remote Access Policy;
• Encryption Policy;
• System Audit Procedures;
• Confidentiality and Data Distribution Procedures
• Copyright Compliance Policy.
Regulatory requirements that require these practices include the following:
• FERPA
A federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.
• FISMA
Requires a mandatory set of processes that must be followed for all information systems used or operated by a U.S. federal government agency.
• HSPD-12
A common identification standard used to ensure that government facilities and sensitive information stored in networks remain protected.
3.1.3 Healthcare
The healthcare industry is required to manage highly sensitive and private information for all of the patients in the system. Advances in IT have allowed them to manage this data more efficiently and cost-effectively, and it has allowed patients to be more proactive in managing their personal healthcare data. Now medical records are documented electronically in the exam room, patients can request their records over e-mail, and health records can be accessed online. All of these advances in management, distribution, and storage of health records also make them vulnerable to unauthorized access. Regulations requiring the healthcare industry to protect this information from unauthorized access include HIPAA compliance.
HIPAA Compliance
Electronically-distributed patient information requires strong data security. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), requires that Protected Health Information (PHI) remain secure at all times. In addition, recent regulations and mandates from the Department of Health and Human Services apply to HIPAA covered entities and any of their business associates that “access, maintain, retain, modify, record, store, destroy, or otherwise hold, use, or disclose unsecured PHI.”

WHITE PAPER SAMSUNG MFP SECURITY
3.2 Private Sector Security Requirements
Private sector security requirements include authorization and encryption which is standard across all business sectors. However, private businesses have the added requirement of SOX compliance.
SOX
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) was enacted in response to several high-profile financial scandals. The SOX act is aimed at enforcing corporate responsibility by improving financial disclosures, and avoiding corporate and accounting fraud. SOX contains many requirements aimed at standardizing financial reporting procedures. The requirement that targets IT policies is section 404 of the act, “Management Assessment of Internal Controls.”
COBIT
The Control Objectives for IT (COBIT) is a framework that is commonly used by IT departments to comply with SOX. COBIT is set of standard IT policies and procedures that can be adopted by all businesses. By using COBIT, an organization can quickly design IT controls to comply with SOX. This includes deploying the right security solutions in the right areas:
• Identity Management
Each user must be uniquely identifiable. User identities and access rights must be maintained in a central repository.
• User Account Management
Account management procedures must exist for requesting, establishing, issuing, suspending, modifying, and closing user accounts and related user privileges, as well as performing regular management reviews of all accounts and related privileges.
• Logs, Alerts and Reports
Logging and alerting policies require recording and notification of abnormal access events. Reporting policies require authorized managers to generate periodic event and log reports.
• Network Devices
This regulation requires secure network devices to be used to ensure authorized system access and to preserve information integrity to and from networks. Network devices should be capable of central management from remote locations. Devices should deliver a high level of data security by providing strong, full-disk encryption and access control to ensure the secure exchange of sensitive data by ensuring the integrity and authenticity of data.
SOX section 404 compliance provides the momentum for most IT organizations to develop and document the IT security controls and processes needed to support financial reporting. Protecting the integrity of information and controlling access to resources are not only essential elements for the preservation of a company but are also requirements for compliance.

4. Common Criteria Security Validation
Information systems are growing every day and the IT professionals that manage these systems need to keep up with this growth. As with all other aspects of business these days, they are trying to achieve more without adding any new personnel. To streamline the process of choosing network devices, a standard has been developed for certifying the security features/claims of a device. The process is known as Common Criteria.
Only when each of the security features passes Common Criteria testing does the device security level get rated and do they issue a Common Criteria certificate.
Products validated under the Common Criteria program provide customers with a high degree of confidence that they address the security issues described in the posted evaluation documents. CCRA posts the claims and evaluation reports on their Web site. Listings can be accessed by going to the Common Criteria Portal:
Samsung is proud to have received EAL 3 certification for our MFP security features.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is a recognized standards sanctioning body responsible for creating, developing, integrating, sharing, and applying knowledge about information technologies and sciences. The IEEE SA developed new security standards focused on modern network printers and hardcopy peripherals (such as copiers and multifunction devices) with the goal of preventing unauthorized access.
The IEEE 2600™-2008, "Standard for Information Technology: Hardcopy System and Device Security standard defines security requirements (all aspects of security including but not limited to authentication, authorization, privacy, integrity, device management, physical security and information security) for manufacturers, users and others on the selection, installation, configuration and usage of hardcopy devices and systems; including printers, copiers, and multifunction devices.
For more information about IEEE 2600™, go to:
http://standards.ieee.org/getieee/2600/index.html
This standard identifies security exposures for these HCDs and systems, instructs manufacturers and software developers on appropriate security capabilities to include in their devices and systems, and instructs users on appropriate ways to use these security capabilities.
Prior to IEEE 2600, there were no standards to guide manufacturers or users of hardcopy devices in the secure installation, configuration, or usage of these devices and systems.
Based on the IEEE 2600-2008 standards the IEEE developed the following standards:
• IEEE 2600.1-2009
• IEEE 2600.2-2009
These standards provide a set of criteria/security requirements for Common Criteria labs, so they can verify that an MFP meets the IEEE standard requirements.
By complying with the IEEE 2600.1™-2009 standard, Samsung also complies with the IEEE 2600-2009.2 standard.
(3)
Samsung is a proud sponsor of this new standard and the new MFPs are now certified for the IEEE 2600.2-2009 standards.

7.1 Authentication
Authentication is used by Samsung MFPs to confirm that a user has rights to access the MFP. MFP authentication includes the following security checks:
• System Authentication
• Local Authentication
• N/W Authentication
• Employee Badge / HID Proximity Card
• Smartcard Authentication / Common Access / PIV Card
7.1.1 System Authentication
Samsung MFPs require the system administrator to enter their authentication information before allowing access to the system management menus. The System Administrators role includes SyncThru local system administrator. The authentication process for the SyncThru and a password on the user interface, the authentication process for the local MFP system administrator uses a PIN number on the MFP user interface. The system administrator must enter a PIN to access the system administration functions. The SyncThru

Service UI, and the local administrator must type their PIN number in to the MFP UI. The security software displays asterisks instead of characters to hide the characters they enter.
The authentication process is delayed by the MFP UI for three minutes when 3 wrong PINs are entered in succession. When 3 wrong PINs are entered in the SyncThru software will send an error message to the browser session screen.
7.1.2 Local Authentication
When the Authentication mode is enabled, a local MFP user must enter a password to access the menu. The password for a local MFP user can be up to 15 characters in length, and it can include alphabetic, numeric and special characters. The password complexity consists of upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
7.1.3 Network Authentication
The Samsung MFP prevents unauthorized use of the network options (network scanning, scan-to-e-mail, and scan-to­server). The MFP System Administrator sets the network options available for each user. To access a network service, the user must provide a user name and password, which is then validated by the designated authentication server.
Network authentication includes 802.1x, Kerberos, SMB and LDAP. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a software protocol for enabling anyone to locate organizations, individuals, and other resources such as files and devices on a network, whether on the public Internet or on a corporate intranet.

The system administrator can create each user’s ID and Password by using the Web-UI.
When the Authentication mode is enabled, a User can log in to the device through the Local UI or through a Network connection. Only authorized users can access the device after successfully logging on. The following are examples of Local and Network login screens:
7.3 Authorization (Group/Role Management)
A common form of user management is known as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). By using a defined set of roles, an administrator can easily assign access to a user by assigning them to a role. Adding a user to a group also allows the administrator to manage access for large groups of users. Examples of Roles for the MFP are Print only; Scan Only, Copy Only or any combination of these and others.
7.3.1 Using Group and Role-Based Authority
The Administrator can create several groups with different user roles by using SyncThruTM Web Service. With this function, the user property of Authorization, Authentication and Accounting can be controlled by Group/Role definitions. For example, when Group “A” has only “Copy” authority, a user in that group can only use 1 Copy feature but not other features like Faxing or Scanning.

8. Secure Data
The “Secure Data” category of the Samsung Security Framework is designed to protect your valuable data from threats while it is residing or passing through the MFP. Confidential and private data such as patient information, student records, client information in banks, insurance companies, etc. must now be protected on an MFP in the same way a server must be protected from unauthorized access. It is no longer surprising to find MFPs and printers equipped with hard drives. These hard drives store various types of hardcopy information such as, user information, copy/scan/fax/print images from processed jobs, and device activity logs. Some or all of the information on the hard drives need to be protected securely. Hard drive overwriting technology and encryption are the industry standard methods for securely protecting the data.
Samsung’s “Secure Data” protects your valuable data by using advanced security features like Encryption of the hard drives, scans and Network printing, and hard drive image overwriting.
8.1 Encryption
Encryption is the process of changing data into useless characters that must be unscrambled by using a key. The Samsung Secure Data feature uses the following methods:
• Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Encryption
• Print Job Encryption
• PC Scan Security
• Secure PDF (PDF Encryption, Digital Signature in PDF)
• Secure Email (SMTP).
• E-mail Encryption
8.1.1 Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Encryption
To protect the confidentiality of the data stored on a computer HDD, encryption is used. Data on the HDD is written in plain text which makes it available for everyone to read. To prevent this from occurring, HDD encryption is required.
Samsung MFPs protect data by using built-in AES-256 HDD encryption technology.

8.1.2 Print Job Encryption
Print Job Encryption encrypts the data used by the network while printing. The network encryption process follows this path: Make and share keys (ECDH) --> Encrypt data (AES) --> Transmit encrypted data --> Decrypt data --> Print decrypted data.
This feature can be enabled from the Printer Driver and it is transparent to the User.
There is no visible printing performance deterioration even when the encryption is enabled.

8.1.3 Secure PDF - PDF Encryption
Samsung Secure Data allows you to encrypt a PDF document to protect its contents from unauthorized access. Encryption applies to all strings and streams (Scanned Images) in the document’s PDF file, but not to other object types such as integers and Boolean values, which are used primarily to convey information about the document’s structure rather than its content. Leaving these values unencrypted allows random access to the objects within a document, whereas encrypting the strings and streams protects the document’s substantive contents. The PDF encryption process follows this path:
1. The AES algorithm is used for data encryption
2. Key data is generated by using the Owner Password and User Password from the hash function.
The scope of this encryption includes all data streams, all creation data, all of the creator information, and all of the producer information.
Example of the PDF encryption workflow:
8.1.4 Secure PDF – Digital Signature in PDF
Users can add a Digital Signature to the PDF with the certification. To add the Digital Signature, users must create the digital certificate (See 8.1.5) from the SyncThru the Scan to Server feature.

8.2 Image Overwrite
User information created during the copying, printing, network scanning, scanning to e-mail, or scanning to server processes is immediately recorded on the MFP’s hard drive. To secure this information, the MFP software implements an image overwrite function to erase image data created during the copying, printing, network scanning, scanning to e-mail, or scanning to server processes. The MFP software performs three overwrite passes of the data using the methods defined in Department of Defense (DoD) 5220.22-M (ECE). The MFPs can perform the following image overwrites:
• Automatic Image Overwrite
• Manual Image Overwrite
8.2.1 Automatic Image Overwrite
The Automatic Image Overwrite feature overwrites temporary image files automatically after the completion of each MFP task.
8.2.2 Manual Image Overwrite
The Manual Image Overwrite feature allows the MFP System Administrator to manually perform a data overwrite of the HDD data.
8.2.3 Scheduled Image Overwrite
The Scheduled Image Overwrite feature allows the MFP System Administrator to reserve a data overwrite of the HDD data base on assigned schedule (Frequency, Day, Week, and Time).
8.2.4 Image Overwrite from the Local UI.
The system automatically overwrites temporary files created during processing and manually overwrites temporary files created during processing on a specially-reserved section of the hard drive (Automatic Image Overwrite).
The image overwrite security function can also be invoked manually by the system administrator. Once invoked, it cancels all print and scan jobs, halts the printer interface (network), overwrites the contents of the reserved section on the hard drive, and then it reboots the main controller. When a power failure interrupts the manual overwrite, the process will restart automatically after the power returns allowing it to finish overwriting all of the remaining files (Manual Image Overwrite).

8.3 Information Hiding
User information created during the copying, printing, network scanning, scanning to e-mail, or scanning to server processes is immediately recorded on the MFP’s hard drive. Some data includes sensitive information from the job list. You want this information to be obscured in the Local UI, Web-UI and the Job Monitor. Information Hiding displays information differently according to the login user and the Information Hiding settings. Information Hiding settings include the following:
• Hiding restriction option
• All information
• Non-Secure information only
• User’s Own information only
• Hiding obscure option
• Asterisks as many as characters of information
• Asterisks as many as fixed count except first char

9. Secure Network
The Secure Network category of the Samsung Security framework is designed to protect your network from unauthorized access through the MFP. This protection is made possible by using industry standard methods including the following:
• Transport Layer Security (TLS) / Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3)
• IP Security (IPSec)
• 802.1x Network Security
• Protocol/Port Management
• IP/MAC Filtering
9.1 Transport Layer Security (TLS) / Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide security and data integrity for communications over TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. TLS and SSL encrypt the segments of network connections at the Transport Layer from end-to-end. (Using AES 256)
• FTP over SSL/TLS
• SMTP over SSL/TLS
• HTTP over SSL/TLS
• LDAP over SSL/TLS
• IPP over SSL/TLS
• POP3 over SSL/TLS
• ThinPrint over SSL/TLS
9.2 SNMPv3
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the TCP/IP suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
SNMPv3 is not a stand-alone replacement for SNMPv1 and/or SNMPv2. SNMPv3 is SNMPv2 plus security and administration. SNMPv3 security features support authentication and encryption. The SNMPv3 used on Samsung MFPs can support authentication by using the SHA algorithm and can support one account to read and write. Samsung MFPs with SNMPv3 support the DES encryption algorithm.

SAMSUNG MFP SECURITY WHITE PAPER
9.3 IP Security (IPSec): IPv4, IPv6
IPSec is an important element between the other network nodes in IP communication. It supports authenticating and encrypting IP packets between network devices using IPv4 or IPv6. IPSec is used widely without upper layer security protocols like TLS/SSL or SSH because of the existing layer 3 based on the OSI layer. When IPSec is used between a user PC and an MFP, print job security and scan job security can be enhanced. When IPSec is used between the Administrator and an MFP, management data security can be enhanced. IPSec is used to protect IP-based network traffic.
IPSec is designed to provide interoperable, high quality, cryptographically-based security for IPv4 and IPv6. The set of security services offered includes access control, connectionless integrity, data origin authentication, protection against replays (a form of partial sequence integrity), confidentiality (encryption), and limited traffic flow confidentiality. These services are provided at the IP layer, offering protection for IP and/or upper layer protocols.
IPSec uses two protocols to provide traffic security – Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP). Both protocols are described in more detail in their respective Internet Society
TM
RFCs:
• 4302 - IP Authentication Header
• 4835 - Cryptographic Algorithm Implementation Requirements for Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and
Authentication Header (AH)
IPSec only supports the pre-shared key method for IPSec authentication. Users can setup pre-shared key values through a Web UI. IKE protocol is used to establish and manage Security Association (SA) between a printer and a user node in the AH and ESP services. In IPSec and IKE protocol, the supporting algorithms include the following:
• Diffie-Hellman algorithm: modp 1024, modp 1536, modp 2048, modp 3072, modp 4096, modp 6144 and modp 8192
• Hash algorithm: SHA1
• Encryption algorithm: 3DES, AES128,AES192, AES256
• Integrity algorithm: SHA1

9.4 802.1x Support
802.1x Network Security is a protocol used for authenticating network access for 802.1x enabled ports. Generally it is used in 802.11 wireless security communications. Wired network communications also use 802.1x enabled ports. A switch network device called ‘Authenticator’ requires the 802.1x authentication to be connected to the MFP and requires that the MFP responds with its credentials when polled. The authenticator transfers the MFP’s credentials to an authentication server called ‘RADIUS’ and finally RADIUS decides whether to permit the connection or not.
802.1x Network Security protocol uses some Extensible Authentication Protocols (EAP). Samsung MFPs support the following EAPs:
• EAP-MD5
• PEAP
• EAP-MSCHAPv2
• TLS
Server certificate validation is not supported. Each EAP requires a user ID and a Password as a credential.

9.5 Protocol/Port Management
Protocol Management can select whether a network protocol is used or not. According to a user’s network policy, some protocols can be disabled and this can protect an MFP from an external network attack like a port scan. Additionally Protocol Management can reduce network traffic. Samsung MFPs can support Protocol Management for the following protocols:
T4Net
UPnP
9.6 IP/MAC Filtering
Samsung MFPs support IP Filtering to configure available IP Address Ranges. Only registered IP devices can print or scan through a network. Samsung MFPs support IPv4 Filtering and IPv6 Filtering. This can protect MFPs from unknown network devices (supports 10 IPv4 address ranges and 10 IPv6 address ranges).
MAC Address Filtering is also capable of rejecting or accepting request comes from particular Ethernet MAC address.
9.7 Key Benefit of Using Secure Network
The Samsung MFP Secure Network feature protects your information from unauthorized network access.
Hackers are always finding new ways to access your valuable information. One of those new points of access is through what were once considered “dumb” devices. Now because of the high level of features and technology in these devices and their network management access, you must employ security measures that protect these devices. Methods of protection include IP/MAC address filtering. This only allows PCs that have a registered IP address (Internet Protocol) or MAC address (Media Access Control) to access and use the device over the network. Server-based port filtering is another method used when the network firewall software does not suffice to secure servers and LANs from TCP/IP-based security attacks. Network data encryption can also be deployed to protect print data streams and Web interfaces from eavesdropping and making malicious data interceptions. Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are used as cryptographic protocols to provide security and data integrity for communications over TCP/IP networks. By shuffling data and passwords as they travel over the LAN, these security protocols make it very difficult for hackers to intercept, decipher, and tamper with this information. Another method of protection is cryptographic algorithms used on internal hard drives and volatile memory that could be accessed maliciously. Samsung even includes overwriting of unwanted data from the hard drive so that it can never be recovered, ensuring the confidentiality of vital data and information (e-shredding).
WINS
SSL
LDAP
The Samsung MFP provides the feature management option to enable/disable the port/protocol and physical device such as Ethernet and USB host/device. Therefore, if administrators don’t want to use physical interface such as USB port, USB device, and Ethernet (Network Connection), the administrators easily disable the each interface.
In general, Samsung MFP does not provide network access abilities thru the USB port/device. Therefore, the malicious users cannot access the network thru any other interface. Therefore, even if the Samsung MFP is installed within a LAN and a PC is connected thru USB additionally with the device, PC cannot access the network thru the MFP. Samsung Printing Division assures that any users cannot access the network thru any USB port/device.

11. Secure Management
The Secure Management category of the Samsung Security Framework is designed to protect the logging and notification features of the MFP. The logs can contain sensitive information that is useful to administrators and managers. The sensitivity of this information requires that it be protected from unauthorized access. While the notification pathways must be secured from unauthorized redirection or snooping.
The logging and notification features protected by Secure Management include the following:
• Logging (Job Auditing)
• System Back-up
• Email Notification.
11.1 Logging (Job Auditing)
Samsung MFPs track events and actions for logged-on users such as, print jobs, scan jobs, and fax jobs. Job Auditing tracks the following metrics:
• Who (ID)
• Job (Print, Scan, Fax...)
• When (Time and Date Stamp)
While the Stamp feature can add useful tags to the documents, this feature allows the Administrator to manage and monitor all of the jobs, MFP operations, and events on the MFP. All of this log information is stored on the MFP HDD. Log data stored on the MFP HDD can be exported and backed up to an external server. There are 3 types of logs kept on the MFP, these include the following:
• Job Log
• Operation Log
• Security Event Log
These audit logs track data requests, changes to the security audit functions, image overwriting –result and inquiries/changes to the security audit configuration. Because Log data is only available to authorized web administrators, unauthorized users cannot change or delete them. Log data can be downloaded by using the Web UI for viewing and analysis. When the MFP HDD storage is full of log data, the latest records overwrite the oldest audit records.

Workflow Lite
Samsung SmarThru™ Workflow Lite is an automated document capturing, scanning, and routing solution that creates a seamless and intuitive infrastructure for repetitive digital document handling. It enables users to capture, process, and distribute documents digitally, which is a core component for operating an optimized business environment.
One-Touch Scanning to Distribution
Documents can be scanned from a device and distributed to predefined destinations automatically without a server by creating a workform. When repetitive work is defined, it can be streamlined with the One-Touch scanning feature on the printer panel. Users can send a captured document to multiple predefined destinations with just one scanning conversion, improving productivity by removing tedious work. Plus, with easy access to digital files, the time and effort spent searching for paper documents is virtually eliminated.

Fax Routing
For enhanced workflow, SMBs can automatically distribute faxes to predetermined locations by manually categorizing locations using metadata or caller ID. For example, incoming faxes can be automatically categorized by using the caller ID. This feature is a time-saver when all faxes received from a specific client need to be sent to one individual or a specific group. By entering the client’s fax number, a workform is automatically started when a fax is received from that number. Metadata can be handled in much the same way, greatly enhancing workflow efficiency.
Zone-OCR and Barcode Recognition
SmarThru™ Workflow Lite supports OCR, an optical character recognition feature that reads and translates scanned character images into character codes. Once captured, documents can be routed to predetermined destinations based on text content in document zones using Zone-OCR, or based on barcode scans using the barcode recognition function. Samsung OCR and Zone-OCR, standard features with this solution, provide broad support for 27 languages allowing accurate document conversion and processing. Businesses can save resources by eliminating the need for an additional server, gaining the added benefit of automated save folder naming and creation by Zone-OCR and of automated naming of saved files by barcode recognition.

Securing an open platform requires robust security architecture and rigorous security programs. Android was designed with multi-layered security that provides the flexibility required for an open platform, while providing protection for all users of the platform. Android was designed with device users in mind. Users are provided visibility into how applications work, and control over those applications. This design includes the expectation that attackers would attempt to perform common attacks, such as social engineering attacks to convince device users to install malware, and attacks on third-party applications on Android. Android was designed to both reduce the probability of these attacks and the impact of the attack in the event it was successful.
Furthermore, Samsung has developed the security mechanism and authentication methods to improve the Android security. Samsung supports the Samsung Application Store to provide various powerful applications to the customer. These all application shall be verified by Samsung Printing Division’s auditor to guarantee the security level of application. Note that only an administrator can install additional application. It means that hacker cannot install any application (malware) using third-party applications to reveal customer’s valuable information. If customers do not want to install any additional application in your MFP, Samsung absolutely provides the Application Locking Solution to prohibit the installation of any third-party applications.
Samsung continuously improves its security abilities and offerings to overcome Android level of security.
