version. If the Advanced Security Mode is enabled, do not perform the account update
operation on the version that was downgraded to the previous version.

If the Advanced Security Mode is enabled, HP recommends using a certificate for the
SSL-encrypted communication with the hash function larger than SHA-2 (SHA-256 or larger).

The Year 2010 Encryption Problem

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) compiles the types of encryption that
U.S. government agencies should use. The NIST recommends transitioning to encryption types with
larger key size and advanced security after 2010. Although responding to this issue is not
mandatory, it is recommended. A large number of devices and systems utilizing encryption will
be affected by this new encryption standard.
