Security Digital Certificates A digital certificate must be installed on the printer before you can enable secure HTTP (SSL). A digital certificate is a set of data used to verify the identity of the holder or sender of the certificate. A certificate includes the following data: • Information about the person, organization, or computer that the certificate is issued to, including the name, location, Email address and other contact information. • Serial number of the certificate • Expiration date of the certificate • Name of the certificate authority that issued the certificate • A public key • A certificate authority's digital signature Installing a Digital Certificate There are three ways to install a certificate on the printer: • Create a Self-Signed Certificate. A Self-Signed Certificate is the result when the printer creates its own certificate, signs it, and creates a public key for the certificate to be used in SSL encryption. • Create a request to have a certificate authority, or a server functioning as a certificate authority sign a certificate and then upload the certificate to the printer. An example of a server functioning as a CA is Windows Server running Certificate Services. • Install a trusted root certificate created by a CA. For details, see Managing Trusted Certificate Authorities on page 63. Note: Installing a self-signed certificate is less secure than installing a certificate signed by a trusted CA. However, if you do not have a server functioning as a certificate authority this is your only option.
