Preventing Information Leakage |
There are many possibilities connected to information leakage regarding documents and data handling; such as when you have left behind your original or output on the machine after you have made a copy or printed, or when a transmission error has occurred when you have tried to send your file or document.
This mode displays the signature on the digital document, which indicates the source and therefore the legitimacy of the document. By using the public key encryption method, you can verify the data creator and that the data has not been altered. You can create the following types of digital signature PDF on this machine.
Besides the digital signature, you can create encrypted PDF by registering a password to the PDF to prevent unauthorized browsing by a third party. (See "Scan and Send.")
This machine can link with Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management to generate PDF files that have view privileges, etc. managed. For information on the settings for connecting to an Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management server, see "Setting a Rights Management Server."
The following modes can be set by administrator so that it is always reflected on the output by the general users.
This mode enables you to embed text, such as "CONFIDENTIAL," the date and time, or custom characters on the output so that the embedded text appears when the copies are copied. You can prevent unauthorized copying by the third party because you can distinguish between the original and copies of originals. (See "Forced Secure Watermark" and "Printer Driver Secure Watermark.")
This mode enables you to embed hidden information (TL code*) on the background of the copies/prints to help restrict unauthorized copying. You can also embed information such as the user name, date/time, and device name. You can analyze the embedded information using the Document Scan Code Analyzer for MEAP and find out who, when, and with which machine the copy was made. * TL code is a type of 2-dimensional bar code. TL code is printed and by changing the arrangement of the dots, digital information is embedded on the output.
This mode enables you to print the user name, the date and time, and custom characters in addition to the copy set number when copying/printing. By printing the copy set number and other information, you can prevent unauthorized copying by a third party. (See "Copy Set Numbering Options.")
The Encrypted Secure Print is a mode that strengthens the security by encrypting print data on a computer and decoding the encryption on the machine. This mode helps prevent the contents of your printed documents from being seen by other users and prevent leakage of confidential information. For instructions on Secured Print and Encrypted Secure Print, see "Secured Print." For information on the optional products required to use Encrypted Secure Print, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function (imageRUNNER ADVANCE C9075 PRO/C9065 PRO)" or "Optional Products Required for Each Function (imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7065/C7055)."
You can prevent information leakage that occurs during sending such as entering a wrong destination by confirming the entry of destination or restricting new destinations/domain. (See "Restricting the Send Function" and "Setting the Address Book.")
You can restrict the browsing and the use of the Status Monitor/Cancel screen and Address Book by specifying settings for each function. (See "Setting the Control Panel Display".) |
