Security

IPsec:

The networking options on the IBM
Infoprint 1532 Express are extensive: fast
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 802.11G
wireless. LAN and WAN security is
accomplished through standard IPSec.
IPsec is a framework for a set of protocols
for security at the network layer of the TCP/
IP protocol stack. IPsec supports both
authentication and encryption. A major
advantage of IPsec is that security
arrangements can be implemented without
requiring changes to existing user
software. For example, with Windows XP
and 2000, IPsec can be enabled through
the Microsoft Management Console
(MMC). Networking protocols like Telnet,
FTP, HTTP, LPR, Discovery and others
can then be secured transparently.
To enable security for the IBM Infoprint
1532 Express, administrators, using the
Web interface, must first configure how the
initial authentication of devices is
performed. They can choose from pre-
shared keys, digital certificates, or
Kerberos authentication. In many LAN
environments, the pre-shared
key may be sufficient and is
simpler to implement.
Administrators enter the same
secret shared key on both the
IBM Infoprint 1532 Express
and on Windows by setting up
an MMC policy.
After the devices authenticate
each other they can then,
depending on the policy
configured, encrypt the data or
print stream. The IBM Infoprint
1532 Express supports DES,
3DES, and AES. These
standards must be included in

With IBM printers, IPsec can be enabled
the Windows encryption policy for a
security negotiation to complete
successfully.
With authentication and encryption
configured, administrators then use the
"TCP/IP Port Access" Web page, selecting
which ports to enable security on. If
desired, ports can be configured to accept
both secure and non-secure
communication.
The IBM supports certificates, pre-shared keys,
and Kerberos authentication.
