How to Encrypt the Connection to the Personal
Printing Server
A secure connection between the Personal Printing server and the
TPR can be achieved by using an SSL/TLS encryption. When querying
print jobs, the user data (user-ID, user-PIN, etc.) will be transmitted
in an encrypted way. The encryption strength is defined via the
encryption protocol and level
In this process, the Personal Printing protocol, which establishes the
connection between the Personal Printing server and the TPR and
transmits the data packets, will be encrypted via SSL/TLS. This means
that certificates are needed for the authentication.
A certificate from a matching CA (Certification Authority) must be
installed both on the Personal Printing server and the TPR.
The Personal Printing server requests a certificate from the TPR. By
means of the related CA certificate, the certificate will be verified by
the Personal Printing server. To this purpose, the CA certificate must
be stored on the Personal Printing server.
Procedure
• Create a certificate request on the TPR; see:
• Create a certificate using the certificate request and the
certification authority.
• Install the requested certificate on the TPR; see:
• Install the CA certificate of the certification authority on the
74.
