Encrypting Communication of Print Data for Mobile Devices with TLS

Authorized users may incur unanticipated losses from attacks by malicious third parties, such as sniffing, spoofing, and tampering of data as it flows over a network. To protect your important and valuable information from these attacks, you can use AirPrint on this machine to encrypt communication between the machine and a mobile device with Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS allows data to be encrypted and sent or received over the network. To use TLS, you need to specify a key pair and enable the TLS function. Generate or install the key pair for TLS before enabling TLS (Configuring Settings for Key Pairs and Digital Certificates).
