Abstract: According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for enforcing a distribution policy with respect to information transmitted from a sending fax machine to a recipient fax machine as fax traffic is presented. The method comprising defining an information distribution policy with respect to the fax traffic, then monitoring the fax traffic in accordance with the distribution policy, where the monitoring comprising: (i) de-modulating the fax traffic being monitored into a digital stream; (ii) reconstructing from the digital stream a graphic image representing at least part of the information within the fax traffic; and (iii) analyzing information within the reconstructed image, and then applying the distribution policy with respect to the analyzed fax traffic.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing multi-domain control over a digital data item via a first domain security policy assigned to the digital data item at a first domain, the data item being transferred from the first domain to a second domain, the second domain being autonomous from the first domain in respect of security policies. The method comprises assigning the security policy to the digital item within the first domain; transferring the digital items to the second domain together with data defining the first domain security policy; analyzing the first domain security policy within the second domain; and distributing and/or allowing usage of the digital items within the second domain in accordance with analyzed first domain security policy, and/or reporting breaches or attempted breaches of the policy.

Abstract: A method for distributed management of phrase-based security policy, the security policy applied with respect to a digital medium, the method comprising: storing at least one phrase together with accompanying security policy; assigning an owner to at least one of the stored phrases; scanning and analyzing the digital medium in order to locate and identify the at least one stored phrase; upon locating the at least one phrase within a digital item in the digital medium: applying the security policy with respect to the digital item, and notifying the owner.
