> Introduction to SSL/TLS Introduction to SSL/TLS Related Models: HL-L5100DN/HL-L5200DW/HL-L6200DW/HL-L6400DW Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an effective method of protecting data sent over a local or wide area network (LAN or WAN). It works by encrypting data, such as a print job, sent over a network, so anyone trying to capture it will not be able to read it.
Page 173
Introduction to SSL/TLS > Brief History of SSL/TLS Brief History of SSL/TLS Related Models: HL-L5100DN/HL-L5200DW/HL-L6200DW/HL-L6400DW SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers ® and servers. For example, when you use Internet Explorer for Internet Banking and you see https:// and the little padlock icon in the web browser, you are using SSL.
Page 174
Related Models: HL-L5100DN/HL-L5200DW/HL-L6200DW/HL-L6400DW The primary benefit of using SSL/TLS on Brother machines is to guarantee secure printing over an IP network by restricting unauthorised users from reading data sent to the machine. SSL's key selling point is that it can be used to print confidential data securely.

Authentication Key (ESP,AH) Specify the key to use for authentication.
Page 223
• ESP is a protocol for carrying out encrypted communication using IPsec. ESP encrypts the payload (communicated contents) and adds additional information. The IP packet is comprised of the header and the encrypted payload, which follows the header. In addition to the encrypted data, the IP packet also includes information regarding the encryption method and encryption key, the authentication data, and so on.
