Section 2 — Device Security

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems also ship with SSO-H, which supports direct authentication against an Active Directory domain using Kerberos or NTLMv2 as the authentication protocol. SSO-H does not require any additional software to perform the user authentication as it is able to directly communicate with the Active Directory domain controllers. In Local Device Authentication mode, SSO-H can support up to 5,000 users.

Card-Based Authentication

uniFLOW Card Authentication

When combined with the optional uniFLOW Output Manager Suite, imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems are able to securely authenticate users through contactless cards, chip cards, magnetic cards and PIN codes. uniFLOW supports HID Prox, MIFARE, Legic, Hitag and Magnetic cards natively using its own reader, as well as others through custom integrations. Certain models of RF Ideas Card Readers can also be integrated to support authentication using radio-frequency identification (RFID) cards.

Advanced Authentication—Proximity Card

Using a MEAP application, imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems can be customized to automatically perform user authentication with contactless cards typically used in corporate environments. User data can be stored locally in a secure table to eliminate the need for an external server, or integrated with an existing authentication server through customization. Support is provided for cards from HID Prox, HID iClass, Casi-Rusco, MIFARE and AWID. Customization can also be performed to provide support for other card types.

Authorized Send for CAC/PIV

To fulfill the strict security requirements of government agencies as dictated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support the use of Common Access Card (CAC) and/or Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card authentication for the embedded Authorized Send MEAP application. Authorized Send for CAC/PIV is a server-less application that protects the Scan-to-Email, Scan-to-Network Folder and Scan-to-Network Fax functions, while allowing general use of walk-up operations like print and copy.

Authorized Send for CAC/PIV supports two-factor authentication by prompting users to insert their card into the device’s card reader and requiring them to enter their PIN. ASEND for CAC/PIV supports the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) to check the revocation status of the user’s card, and then authenticates the user against the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Active Directory. Once authenticated, users can access the document distribution features of Authorized Send.

Authorized Send for CAC/PIV supports enhanced e-mail security features such as non-repudiation, digital signing of e-mail, and encryption of e-mail and file attachments. The cryptographic engine used by Authorized Send for CAC/PIV is based on the industry leading RSA BSAFE security software and has undergone the stringent testing and validation requirements of the FIPS 140 standard.

Control Cards/Card Reader System

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems offer support for an optional Control Card/Card Reader system for device access and to manage usage. The Control Card/Card Reader system option requires the use of intelligent cards that must be inserted in the system before granting access to functions, which automates the process of Department ID authentication. The optional Control Card/Card Reader system manages populations of up to 300 departments or users.

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.
