Introduction Using Certificates for device security 1 Your Brother machine supports the use of multiple security certificates allowing secure management, 1 authentication and communication with the machine. The following security certificate features can be used with the machine. When you print a document or use Web Based Management (web browser) securely using SSL, you must install the certificate onto your computer. See Digital Certificate Installation uu page 4. SSL/TLS communication SSL communication for SMTP/POP3 The Brother machine supports the following certificates. Pre-installed certificate Your machine has a pre-installed self-signed certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without creating or installing a certificate. If you want to use your machine's Google Cloud Print feature, you can use this pre-installed certificate to configure the Google Cloud Print settings securely. For more information on Google Cloud Print, go to the Brother Solutions Center at http://solutions.brother.com/ and click Manuals on your model page to download the Google Cloud Print Guide. Note The pre-installed self-signed certificate cannot protect your communication from spoofing. We recommend using a certificate that is issued by a trusted organization for better security. Self-signed certificate This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without having a certificate from a CA. (See Creating a self-signed certificate uu page 6.) Certificate from a CA There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a certificate from a CA or if you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA: • When using a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from this print server. (See Creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) uu page 7.) • When importing a certificate and a private key. (See Import and export the certificate and private key uu page 17.) 2
