White Paper: Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Security
Section 3 — Information Security
The Device Signature PDF and the Device Signature XPS mode use the device signature
certificate and key pair inside the machine to add a digital signature to the document, which
enables the recipient to verify the device that scanned it. If the optional Digital User Signature
PDF kit is activated, users can install a digital signature that embeds their name and e-mail address
to confirm their identity as the source of the document and provides notification if changes have
been made. In order to use Digital User Signature Mode, SSO authentication must be enabled and
a valid certificate installed on the device.
Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems also support a feature called PDF Visible Digital
Signature, which forces the display of the digital signature on the first page of the PDF file rather
than recipients having to open the document’s properties. Users can select the visible signature
from the Scan and Send screen and choose its position and orientation on the page. This not only
makes the digital signature more prominent, but also ensures that the digital signature appears on
any printed versions of the document.
Copy Set Numbering
All imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support the ability to add copy set numbers to copied
and printed output in a user-defined region on the page. Copy set numbering offers a means to
track documents by the set number that a recipient receives.
Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES*
In general, once a PDF is created it can be openly exchanged if it is unencrypted and/or not
secured by a password. Organizations that require more precise control over their information can
integrate an imageRUNNER ADVANCE system with an Adobe LiveCycle
®
Rights Management
ES server. The Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES application makes it possible to enforce
dynamic document policies for choosing the authenticated users that are authorized to view its
contents, define expiration dates, track distribution and define watermarks. Once the document’s
privileges have been set, it will contact the Adobe LiveCycle
® Rights Management server over the
Internet to enforce the latest policy.
Document Scan Lock & Trace
The optional Document Scan Lock & Tracking feature of imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems
enables documents to include embedded tracking information such as usernames, date stamps, and
device name within the background. The embedded information is not readable by users, and can
only be accessed by system administrators. The tracking information can also contain policy
information that determines whether the document can be copied or scanned on other
imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems with Document Scan Lock enabled. This feature also offers
QR Code support in the Next Generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems.
Please refer to Section 6 — Logging & Auditing on page 30 for a more detailed description on the
Document Scan Lock & Trace feature.
* The PDF/A-1b and Encrypted PDF file formats are not compatible with Adobe LiveCycle ® Rights Management ES.
The Scan Lock feature enables the following restrictions to be applied to a document:
 Complete Restriction: No one can make any copy/send/fax.
 Password Authentication: Allows the ability to make copy/send/fax only if the proper password
is entered.
 User Authentication: Allows the ability to make copy/send/fax only to original authorized user
logged into the device with the proper User ID and Password.
