Introduction

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an effective method of protecting data which is sent over a local or wide area

network. It works by encrypting data sent over a network, i.e. a print job, so anyone trying to capture it will not

be able to read it as all the data will be encrypted.

It can be configured on both wired and wireless networks and will work with other forms of security such as

WPA keys and firewalls.

SSL was originally created to secure web traffic information, in particular data sent between web browsers

and servers. For example, when you use Internet Explorer

little padlock in the web browser, you are using SSL. It then grew to work with other applications such as

Telnet, printers and FTP software in order to become a universal solution for online security. Its original

design intentions are still being used today by many online retailers and banks to secure sensitive data, such

as credit card numbers, customer records etc.

SSL uses extremely high levels of encryption and is trusted by banks all over the world since it is unlikely that

it will be broken.

The sole benefit to using SSL on Brother machines is to provide secure printing over an IP network by

restricting unauthorized users from being able to read data sent to the machine. Its key selling point is that it

can be used to print confidential data securely. For example, a HR department for a large company may be

printing wage slips on a regular basis. Without encryption, the data contained on these wage slips can be

read by other network users. However, with SSL, anyone trying to capture the data will only see a confusing

page of code and not the actual wage slip.
