Lexmark PrintCryption Card for the Lexmark C780, C782
|

|
This card supports the decryption of data that has been encrypted using the AES Rijndael encryption algorithm.
With the Lexmark PrintCryption Card and using host encryption with subsequent decryption in the printer, proprietary or confidential information is secured and protected when transmitted over a TCP/IP network.
The Lexmark PrintCryption Card enables printing of files that have been encrypted using the Rijndael encryption algorithm selected by the National Institute of Science and Technology as the Advanced Encryption Standard. This is a symmetric algorithm supporting key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits.

The Lexmark PrintCryption Card analyzes the encrypted data stream, determines if the correct key was used to encrypt the data, decrypts the data and allows the data to be printed. If an incorrect key was used to encrypt the data, all data is discarded, host software such as VPS/Secure is notified and nothing is printed. Files that are not encrypted will print normally.
For mainframe environments, Secured Output Distribution products from Levi, Ray, & Shoup, allow output to be encrypted during the entire transmission from the mainframe to the printer (end-to-end). VPS/Secure working with VPS and VPS/TCPIP encrypts output from the mainframe’s MVS JES spool and sends this output over TCP/IP to a network-connected printer or MFP with a Lexmark PrintCryption Card installed and that has been defined to the VPS software on the mainframe.
Lexmark offers secure printing capabilities for Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 2003 and Microsoft Windows XP, IBM AIX, HP-UX, CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), Apple Mac OS X, IBM mainframe and Command line file-send programs for Sun Solaris and Linux (Red Hat and SuSE).
Secure printing capabilities for Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 2003, Microsoft Windows XP secure Lexmark printer port, IBM AIX 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, HP-UX 11, CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), Apple Mac OS X 10.2, IBM OS/390 and IBMzSeries mainframe (with Levi, Ray & Shoup VPS Secure software), lpr support and command line file-send programs for Sun Solaris 8, 9, 10 and Linux (Red Hat 7 and higher, Red Hat Enterprise 3 and 4 and SuSE Enterprise and Professional 8, 9).
The Lexmark PrintCryption Card is compatible with Levi, Ray & Shoup VPS®/TCPIP 8.0 or later and VPS/Secure™ 1.0 or later.
Supports secure key management protocols and supports both session keys and persistent keys. The key update process ensures secured transmission of new keys. The Lexmark PrintCryption card supports 128 bit, 192 bit, and 256 bit encryption keys. The Lexmark PrintCryption Card provides support for the Advanced Encryption Standard (Rijndael algorithm) to meet FIPS-197 requirements.
Unique TCP/IP port numbers are used for the encrypted print information. The card decrypts and prints the information appropriate for the port: Port 9150 – persistent key management and control for RSA public and private key pairs; Port 9151 – used for data encrypted with an AES persistent key; Port 9152 – used for data encrypted with an AES session key.
Supported printers: Only network printers with standard Ethernet connections or MarkNet N8000 print servers are supported. The external MarkNet Print Servers do not support the Lexmark PrintCryption card.
