2.1Description of Enhanced Security mode

The following items will have enhanced security.

-Protect and delete used data in memory and on the HDD

There are two kinds of image data that will be saved in memory and on the HDD: AHA compressed data and uncompressed data (TIFF and PDF formats). Memory and HDD areas containing the AHA compressed data is freed up when data is deleted. However in normal mode data is not completely deleted so it could be read through illicit means. In the En- hanced Security mode, data will be completely cleared before freeing up image areas.

Regardless of the data type (compressed or uncompressed), the image area in memory and on the HDD where the data has been saved will be freed up after it is completely overwritten by the data disrelated to the im- age data.

-Enhanced password

The password is made up of 8 to 64 alphanumerical characters (case sensitive).

If a wrong password is entered, attempts to re-try cannot be made for five seconds.

-Machine NIC setting

When the Enhanced Security mode is ON, the Machine NIC cannot be used.

-Access to the Box with a password

Set up a system that requires users to input an enhanced password as described above, to save data or to print data saved in the Box on the HDD.

If an enhanced password is set up as above, security will be improved when saving scanned data in the Box. No one other than the machine manager can delete the Box or Personal Folder in which scanned data is saved, and changing the Box’s attributes requires authentication with the enhanced password. In addition, authentication will be required to use scanned data saved in the Box.

-External access prohibited

No access is allowed over telephone lines other than CS Remote Care.

-Create, save and analyze an audit log

A history of security function operations will be created and saved. Date and time, information identifying the person who made the operation, de- tails of the operation, and results of the operation will be saved, enabling analysis of unauthorized access. This log will be overwritten if the audit area is depleted.
