White Paper: Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Security
information from environments, where sensitive information is processed, by analyzing
the hard disks from these devices. In order to help protect your sensitive and confidential
information Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems include a standard hard disk format
utility, as well as more advanced optional accessories, such as the HDD Data Erase Kit, the
HDD Data Encryption Kit or the Removable HDD Kit.
Standard HDD Format*
Best practices, and often company policies, usually recommend that systems be completely
wiped by the system administrator prior to the device being reallocated to a new location or
prior to the end of lease or at the end of its lease. The Hard Disk Drive Format feature, which is
standard on all imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems, is more than just a regular hard disk format
function. It not only deletes the File Allocation table (FAT) associated with all user areas on the
disk, but it also overwrites all user data areas on the hard disk with null characters.
Overwritten information includes:
• Data stored in Mail Boxes and Advanced Box
• Data stored in Fax/I-Fax Inbox (Confidential Fax Inbox/Memory RX Inbox)
• Address data stored in the Address Book
• Scan settings registered for the Sending function
• Mode Memory settings registered for the Copy or Mail Box function
• MEAP applications and license files
• Data saved from MEAP applications
• The password for the SMS (Service Management Service) login service of MEAP
• User authentication information registered in the Local Device Authentication system
of SSO-H (Single Sign-On H)
• Unsent documents (reserved documents and documents set with the
Delayed Send mode)
• Job history
• Settings/Registration settings
• Forms registered for the Superimpose Image mode
• Registered forwarding settings
• Key Pair and Server Certificate registered in [Certificate Settings] in [Device
Management] in Management Settings (from the Settings/Registration screen)
The standard HDD format feature that is included with every imageRUNNER ADVANCE system
will perform a one pass overwrite using null characters. If the optional HDD Erase Kit is
installed, the HDD Format feature provides additional overwrite options, including the choice
to perform a DoD 5022.22M compliant 3-pass overwrite.
HDD Data Encryption Kit
The HDD Data Encryption Kit option, which has achieved Common Criteria Certification of
Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3), ensures that all data stored on the internal disk drive is
protected using industry-standard algorithms. The HDD Data Encryption Kit for imageRUNNER
ADVANCE systems uses a dedicated plug-in board that encrypts every byte of data before it is
committed to the disk using the 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm.
Please refer to Section 9.2 for information on the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Hard Disk
Drive Security Kit Options.
