Protected Protocols – HTTPS, Firewall, Scan-to and Fax-to Folder Authentication, Syslog

Page 195 highlights

Protected Protocols - HTTPS The HP Embedded Web Server features the ability to enable encryption of product communication through the HTTPS redirection feature. When used, HTTPS prevents others from viewing information between the EWS and the product via encryption - providing a secure communication method. Firewall The HP Embedded Web Server allows the ability to enable and configure product firewall rules, priorities, templates, services and policies. The firewall feature provides a network-layer of security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The firewall configuration capability provides control over IP addresses that are allowed access the product, and the ability to set permissions and priorities for digital send, management, discovery, and print services--providing a more secure way of controlling access to the product. Scan-to and Fax-to Folder Authentication The Scan-to and Fax-to network folder allows sending to a network folder via the Windows file sharing mechanism. A username and password may be required to log onto the network where the network folder is located. In addition, appropriate privileges may be required to have write access to the network folder. Syslog Support of Syslog, a standard protocol for logging status messages to a designated server, can be used to track the activities and status of devices on the network. The HP Embedded Web Service provides the ability to enable Syslog and to specify the server to which the status messages will be sent. Specifying the priority of those status messages is also supported. Certificates The HP Embedded Web Server provides the ability to install and manage certificates for the authentication of product, server and network. This includes the ability to create a certificate, install a certificate, and import and export certificates. Signed Firmware Support of digitally-signed firmware updates eliminates exposure to malicious software by preventing the installation of non-approved firmware on the product. Wireless Authentication The HP Embedded Web Server provides the ability to configure wireless networking via such 802.1x wireless enterprise authentication protocols as EAP-TLS, LEAP, and PEAP to support access control. The HP Embedded Web Server also provides the ability to configure wireless dynamic key encryption such as WEP encryption and WPA-PSK authentication. In addition, Wireless Direct Authentication can be enabled or disabled. ENWW Product security features 179
