Security of Storage

In the storage, important information such as image information, registered address book information, password of address book

and so on are saved. Therefore, management of the data in the storage requires strong security measures.

Installing the functions such as data encryption and data deletion prevent information leakage and also maintain safety and

confidentiality.

Encryption chip is mounted in the main controller and is installed as standard function.

Encryption chip generate an encryption key in it and encrypt all reads and writes (Include the system software) for storage.

Encryption prevents leakage of confidential information (temporary image data generated when copying and printing, registered

information in the address book as well as its password information) from storage theft.

There is no setting to disable encryption. (Encryption is always performed.)

NOTE:

For the encryption technology, this model has the Canon MFP Security Chip 2.10, which is compliant with the FIPS140-2 Level 2

information encryption processing standard established by the US government. The Canon MFP Security Chip 2.10 is validated

by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) in the US and Canada and the Japan Cryptographic Module Validation

Program (JCMVP).

When an encryption key is generated by the encryption chip, it is normally stored in the encryption chip, and is also backed up

to a location other than the Main Controller just in case of a Main Controller failure. Therefore the encryption key is not lost when

the Main Controller is replaced. The encryption key is automatically backed up when the Main Controller is operating normally.

When the Main Controller is replaced, the encryption key is automatically restored. Therefore, backup and restoration are not

necessary.
