  • Patent number: 12536316
    Abstract: Technique and system protects documents at rest and in motion using declarative policies, access rights, and encryption. Methods, techniques, and systems control access to documents and use of content in documents to support information management policies. Documents are protected using centralized and discretionary policies. Control and protection functions of information or documents may be through one policy or multiple policies defined centrally. A policy server is an intelligent system that has the ability to decide if a single or multiple policies or subset of policies are applicable to a client.
