Section 4 – Network Security

There are three possible scenarios that are explored:

•Data with a virus attached in the e-mail:

All file attachments except for ‘TIFF” files received in the e-mail are discarded immediately after reception.

•Viruses pretending to be TIFF files:

TIFF image files are compressed with formats such as MH, MR, and MMR. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE system compresses the ‘TIFF’ format at reception and after regenerating the image encodes the image again. When processed correctly, the original image is discarded and a new image is created, printed, and transferred. If an error occurs during the process, the data from the ‘TIFF’ file is not transferred but is discarded, and a message notifying the user of the error is added to the e-mail text and is printed.

•Text within e-mail is a virus:

E-mail text data gives the Date, From, Message-Id, To, or Subject data written at the top of the received e-mail for printing and transfer. The e-mail text data is comprised of character strings. If binary data such as data with a virus is used in the e-mail text, the data will be damaged and data with a virus will be discarded. Even if the data with a virus is visible data with a script for- mat, it is not possible to recognize it as a script because Date, From, Message-Id, To, or Subject data is attached at the top.

4.2– Mail Server Security

When the Scan and Send on imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices is enabled, the internal mail service is enabled and supports the POP and SMTP protocols. To protect the service against attack or improper use, administrators can enable additional security features such as SMTP Authentication and POP Authentication before SMTP.

SMTP Authentication

To prevent unauthorized users from making use of the device’s internal SMTP server, administrators can enable SMTP Authentication and designate a username and password to connect to the server. In addition, administrators can enable SSL for all SMTP send and receive operations.

POP Authentication Before SMTP

As an additional layer of security, imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support the ability for administrators to enable or disable the POP Authentication before SMTP feature. POP Authentication before SMTP forces a successful login to a POP server prior to being able to send mail via SMTP.

Paper Shredder specifications

Canon has established a strong reputation for producing reliable and efficient office equipment, and their range of paper shredders is no exception. Designed to cater to both personal and professional use, Canon paper shredders combine advanced technology with user-friendly features to ensure optimal performance and security.

One of the standout characteristics of Canon paper shredders is their high-security shredding capabilities. Many models offer cross-cut or micro-cut shredding, which transforms documents into tiny particles that make it nearly impossible for unauthorized individuals to reconstruct sensitive information. This is particularly important in today's digital age, where data breaches and identity theft are of significant concern.

Another key feature is the processing speed of Canon paper shredders. With rapid sheet capacity, users can quickly shred large volumes of documents, making these shredders a valuable asset in busy office environments. Their durable motor ensures consistent performance without overheating, even during extended use.

Innovation is also at the forefront of Canon’s technology. Many shredders are equipped with advanced jam-proof systems, which detect potential jams in real-time and automatically reverse the shredding process to prevent damage. This ensures smooth operation and reduces downtime due to maintenance issues.

Moreover, Canon paper shredders offer a variety of convenience features tailored to enhance user experience. Many models come with large, easy-to-empty waste bins, allowing for fewer interruptions during the shredding process. Some even feature LED indicators that alert users when the bin is full or when shredding is in progress.

Portability is another important aspect, with several Canon models designed to be compact and lightweight. This allows users to easily transport the shredder between home and office settings.

Lastly, energy efficiency is a priority in Canon’s design process. Many shredders come equipped with automatic shut-off functions that engage after periods of inactivity, helping to conserve power and reduce energy costs.

In summary, Canon paper shredders are characterized by their high-security shredding capabilities, fast processing speeds, innovative technologies to prevent jams, convenient design features, portability, and energy efficiency. Ideal for maintaining confidentiality and organization in both personal and professional settings, Canon paper shredders continue to set a high standard in the shredding industry.
