Information Security TechnologyCanon Office MFDs employ a number of information security functions, and the company continually strives to further improve these features to ensure customers can use Office MFDs securely and with peace of mind. |

Office MFD Internal Technologies to Prevent Confidential Information LeakageThe TPM (Trusted Platform Module) plays an important role in protecting the confidential information contained in MFDs from physical analysis and unauthorized network access. All confidential information is encrypted using the root key on the TPM chip before being stored. The root key never leaves the chip, ensuring the protection of confidential information within the Office MFD. |

Technologies Preventing Unauthorized Usage through Function RestrictionsAccess Management System technology prevents unauthorized device usage by restricting which functions can be used on a per-user basis. ACTs (Access Control Tokens) are used when sending print orders from PCs to Office MFDs, making it possible to implement print restrictions and prevent print data tampering and replaying. Canon’s MEAP application can be customized to work with existing company security systems, such as employee management systems, Smart card authentication and Active Directory. |

Technologies Preventing the Leakage of Confidential Paper-Document InformationCanon’s TL Code (Trace & Lock Code) is a 2-D code technology. Office MFDs print TL Code onto the background of a document when printing. Should an unauthorized user attempt to copy that document, the Office MFD will rapidly analyze the information contained in the TL code and respond in such ways as preventing the confidential document from being copied or identifying the user that printed the document. |
