Canon Authorized Send CAC/PIV Brochure
To meet the requirements of the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), the Department of Homeland
Security requires Federal agency employees—both civilian and military (DoD)—and their contractors to use
standardized Common Access Card (CAC)/Personal Identity Verification (PIV) identification to gain access to facilities
and information systems. This standardized identification policy is used to increase security of sensitive information
that’s contained in, and passes through, information systems. To assist Federal agencies to increase their information
security, Canon developed Authorized Send CAC/PIV, a state-of-the art solution that utilizes a powerful two-factor
authentication and integrates with your CAC/PIV server to validate credentials before a user can access the document
distribution features of their Canon device. This assists in reducing the risk of data being leaked over your network.

®
architecture, Authorized Send CAC/PIV is an embedded application that’s accessible
on the touch-screen of the Canon device. It requires no additional server, middleware, or additional end-point
protection. Federal employees are required to authenticate using their CAC/PIV prior to sending potentially
sensitive information using the scan-to-e-mail, scan-to-fax, and scan-to-folder document distribution features on
their Canon MFP devices. Canon further leverages CAC/PIV security by validating a user’s CAC/PIV certificate for
encryption and digital signatures applied to scan-to-e-mail jobs.
Authorized Send CAC/PIV provides multilayer security out of the box. It’s easily configurable, allowing administrators
to set parameters, including role-based access to centralized address books (i.e., LDAP or Active Directory). This
helps each Federal agency to meet their unique needs for document distribution.
Canon offers Federal agencies an easy-to-use CAC and PIV solution with a large icon-driven, touch-screen
interface with support for many card types and card readers, for secure document distribution.
