Security features (encryption key and certificate, password protection)
Overview
The Main Controller PCB 1 of the host machine holds a new PCB named “TPM PCB”.
TPM stands for “Trusted Platform Module”, which collectively refers to the chip set for generating and storing encryption keys and computing public key encryption.
The TPM PCB protects security information (passwords, certificates, and encryption keys) stored in the HDD and SRAM. Note that this PCB does not protect set, registered or stored data other than security information.
The TPM key embedded in the chip is used to encrypt / decrypt security information. The TPM key is protected from illegal access in a virtually perfect manner, thus the security information of the host machine is securely protected even in the following conditions.
When the HDD and / or the main controller PCB is taken out from the host machine and installed in the MFP with the different serial number (the model information held in the TPM PCB is specific to the machine originally enabled the TPM setting)
When the system of the host machine is hacked via the network
Enable this function in Setting/Registration mode.
Management Settings > Data Management > TPM Settings -> ON (OFF by default)
