Section 4 – Network Security

See the imageRUNNER ADVANCE system manual for the specific device in question for additional instructions on registering IPSec-based security policies.

Authentication and Encryption Method:

One of the following methods must be set for the device.

AH (Authentication Header)

A protocol for certifying authentication by detecting modifications to the communicated data, including the IP header. The communicated data is not encrypted.

ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload)

A protocol that provides confidentiality via encryption while certifying the integrity and authentication of only the payload part of communicated data.

Key Exchange Protocol

Supports IKEv1 (Internet Key Exchange version 1) for exchanging keys based on ISAKMP (Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol). IKE includes two phases; in phase 1 the SA used for IKE (IKE SA) is created, and in phase 2 the SA used for IPSec (IPSec SA) is created.

To set authentication with the pre-shared key method, it is necessary to decide upon a pre-shared key in advance, which is a keyword (24 characters or less) used for both devices to send and receive data. Use the control panel of the device to set the same pre-shared key as the destination to perform IPSec communications with, and perform authentication with the pre-shared key method.

To select authentication with the digital signature method, it is necessary to install a key pair file and CA certificate file created on a PC in advance using the Remote UI, and then register the installed files using the control panel of the device. Authentication is conducted with the destinations for IPSec communication using the CA certificate.

The types of key pair and CA certificate that can be used for authentication with the digital signature method are indicated below.

RSA algorithm

X.509 certificate

PKCS#12 format key pair

Wireless LAN

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support wireless networking through the installation of an optional Wireless LAN Board. The Wireless LAN Board is IPv6 compliant and supports the latest wireless traffic encryption standards, including WEP, WPA and WPA2, in addition to support for the IEEE802.1X authentication standard.

The Wireless LAN Board and the standard network interface of imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems cannot be used simultaneously, eliminating the possibility of maliciously using the device as a router or bridge to inter-connect two networks. Network communication functionality is automatically disabled for the standard network interface when the Wireless LAN Board is enabled.

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.
