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, non-

text 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.
