SNMPv3 Options

You can select SNMPv3 options for secure communication with the printing
system.

Authentication

This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived
intact. Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) are
hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data.

MD5

This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128–bit hash
value. It adds security and protection against Gateway Load Balancing
Protocol (GLBP)-spoofing software.

SHA1

This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long. SHA1 is the
successor to MD5.

Privacy

This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after
you select the Authentication option. You may select one privacy option.

DES

This option uses the Data Encryption Standard for encryption. DES turns
cleartext into ciphertext via an encryption algorithm. It encrypts and decrypts
data using 8-byte blocks and a 56-bit key.

AES

This option uses the Advanced Encryption Standard for encryption. AES is a
symmetric block cipher that can process data blocks of 128 bits, using cipher
keys with lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits. It is more secure than DES.
