7.6  Residual Data Overwrite Function 
The Residual Data Overwrite Function is to overwrite specific patterns on the HDD and disable the reusing 
of the residual data included in the deleted documents, temporary documents and their fragments on the 
HDD. 
FDP_RIP.1 
Methods to delete the HDD area through overwriting include sequential overwriting and batch overwriting. 
For sequential overwriting, the TOE constantly monitors the information on a residual data area, and 
overwrites the area if any existing residual data is discovered. If the user deletes document data, the TOE 
applies the method specified by the MFP administrator and overwrites the area on the HDD where the digital 
image data of the document data is stored. Also, when a user job is complete, the TOE applies the method 
specified by the MFP administrator and overwrites the area on the HDD where temporary documents that are 
created while a user job is executed or the fragments of those temporary documents are stored. 
For batch overwriting, the TOE collectively overwrites the HDD with the method specified by the MFP 
administrator. 
Overwriting methods include NSA method, DoD method, and random number method. NSA method 
overwrites twice by random numbers and once by Null(0). The DoD method overwrites once by a certain 
value, once by its complement, and further by random numbers to be verified afterwards. Random number 
method overwrites for three to nine times by random numbers. The MFP administrator specifies the number 
of times to overwrite when the TOE is installed. 
7.7  Stored Data Protection Function 
The Stored Data Protection Function is to encrypt the data on the HDD and protect the data so that data 
leakage can be prevented. 
FCS_CKM.1 and FCS_COP.1 
The TOE encrypts data before writing it on the HDD, and decrypts the encrypted data after reading it from 
the HDD. This process is applied to all data written on and read from the HDD. Detailed cryptographic 
operations are shown in Table 39.

Following operations by the MFP administrator, the TOE generates a cryptographic key. If a login user is the 
MFP administrator, the screen to generate an HDD cryptographic key is provided from the Operation Panel.
