SecureJet 5

Modular approach

Instead of being an all-in-one, SecureJet is now split in independent module. Those modules can be used standalone and also work together to fulfill the need and provide a complete system interfaced with other applications. The split is done to 3 families:

	Auth modules User authentication	Print modules Smart printing	Track modules Tracking & reporting

With version 4.X, all capabilities had to be purchased, even if not used. In example, some users wanted to make use of the MFP built-in DSS Authentication agent to use SecureJet secure printing, but that was not possible without also acquiring a license of PIN code authentication.

With version 5, you only pay the needed function: authentication, secure printing or tracking & reporting.

In example it is now possible to use the SecureJet Authentication alone, in example to authenticate for Autostore, email sending of color copy access control.

It is also possible to use a MFP built-in user authentication agent such as Kerberos or LDAP to use the SecureJet Print-SMP secure push printing module, and SecureJet Print-SMP + SecureJet Print-PS mobile pull printing.

All modules have changed their name. Here is equivalent:

Faster PIN code entry

In SecureJet V4 for 4345mfp, 9040mfp, 9050mfp, 9500mfp and DS9200C, the "Press here to ID" button needed to be pressed to reach the keypad screen to enter the PIN code, then ENTER, then back to the fields screen then OK.

In SecureJet Auth V5 for those same devices the PIN code can be entered directly on the printer numeric keypad, then the user press OK.

New Biometrics authentication

• Professional biometrics authentication

• User recognition in less than 3 seconds

• Up to 1000 fingers (up to 500 users) per MFP 

Smart and dynamic shift-in shift-out of print flow

SecureJet V5 firmware does stand anymore in the print path unless needed.

It only steps in the print path when encrypted print jobs need to be decrypted. This ensures the printer prints at maximum speed for push and pull printing even for very large unencrypted print jobs.

Flexible GUI for Secure Print SMP on MFPs

• Local printer HD is checked (Push printing)

• SecureJet-PS are checked (Pull printing)  

• All push and pull print jobs are listed together User can select print jobs for info/print/delete
   

Optional Instant release on MFPs

It is also now possible to have a shortcut and not display the list of jobs on the MFP front panel.
 

• Like on printers, you can now print all your jobs by just showing your badge to the reader. SecureJet Auth then can not be used to authenticate for another MFP application (such as copy, fax etc).

  

• It is possible to Print all jobs after authentication, by pressing the SecureJet front panel button.

The administrator defines the behavior in the SecureJet configuration.

Distributed retention of print jobs on servers for high performance pull printing

Up to 5 Print-PS servers IP address can be defined on each SecureJet Print-SMP configuration. SecureJet Print-SMP will contact those servers looking for your jobs. This is a solution very simple to setup. On the other hand it requires to communicate with each of those servers, therefore we don't recommend it for WAN usage (the next method should then be preferred).

Up to 10,000 Print-PS servers can be setup on the Intranet, and they share a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE database. On a MFP or printer, SecureJet Print-SMP is configured to access one Print-PS server. That PS Server will then manage automatically the retrieval of all jobs information from all Print-PS server on the Intranet, as well as deletion and release process.

Live LDAP or Active Directory badge number or PIN code validation

SecureJet can perform on-line validation of the user ID against LDAP and ActiveDirectory, using SecureJet Print-PS as validation gateway. The user badge number is submitted to one or more LDAP and Active Directory servers through SecureJet Print-PS, to find the user record matching the ID. Active Directory or LDAP then returns the user information such as his email address, login, full name, department name, domain etc. This solution is the best when there is a LDAP/AD database which can be accessed live and is fast.

Support of Aliases for multiple logins, same identity

Users can have have multiple logins, one for Windows, one for Unix, another one for SAP R/3. SecureJet Print-PS can automatically assign all the user jobs to a primary login linked to the authentication (badge, PIN code, smartcard) used on printers and MFPs.
