Ricoh Aficio Common Security Features Guide Driver Encryption Key Ricoh devices offer this feature that scrambles user authentication passwords when using the PCL or RPCS drivers so others cannot access the system fraudulently using a stolen user's password. PDF Password Encryption This function corrects a vulnerability in Encrypted PDF Transmission in that the window for entering the user password displays the password in clear text. This function encrypts passwords up to 32 characters for more secure PDF transmission and storage. The assignment of a group password for both the destination machine and connected PCs is done via DeskTopBinder Lite. SNMP v3 Encrypted Communication Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) is a network management standard widely used in TCP/IP environments. SNMP provides a method of managing network hosts such as printers, scanners, workstation or server computers, and groups bridges and hubs together into a "community" from a centrally-located computer running network management software. It allows administrators, for example, to make changes to device settings via SmartDeviceMonitor from a networked PC with encrypted communications to maintain a secure environment. Earlier versions (v1 and v2) of SNMP were used to configure and monitor remote devices. The latest version, SNMPv3, offers enhancements to user authentication and data encryption that deliver greater security features to protect customer data and network assets. When activated, SNMPv3 prevents unauthorized users from seeing either the password and/or the actual content of the file in readable text form, protecting valuable information. S/MIME for Scan to E-mail S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a standard for public key encryption and signing of e-mail encapsulated in MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). MIME is an Internet Standard that extends the format of e-mail to support text in character sets other than US-ASCII, nontext attachments, multi-part message bodies, and header information in non-ASCII character sets. This function is used to encrypt confidential data transmitted by Scan to E-mail for data protection against wiretapping. IPsec Communication IPsec (IP security) is a suite of protocols for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and/or encrypting each IP packet in a data stream. IPsec also includes protocols for cryptographic key establishment. Organizations that require high levels of security have networks with IPsec for data protection. These organizations require printing using IPsec. 13
