Managing Hard Disk Data

 

Information such as files in the Advanced Box or Mail Box, Address Book data, existing job data, and password information are saved to the hard disk of the machine. The machine encrypts this information (HDD data encryption), preventing it from being read by unauthorized users. The machine is also equipped with the Canon MFP Security Chip, which complies with the FIPS 140-2 Level 2 security standard established by the U.S. government. The Canon MFP Security Chip is certified as a cryptographic module under the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) established by the U.S. and Canada, as well as the Japan Cryptographic Module Validation Program (JCMVP). The certification given to the Canon MFP Security Chip ensures that results of the standardized test show the conformity of the test subject with the prescribed standards.

The TPM setting can also be used to encrypt the password information and certificate information managed in the memory.
