  • Publication number: 20060085841
    Abstract: A computing environment security agent is provided for automatically determining whether to grant access to an asset, deny access to the asset, or grant access to a transformed asset responsive to an asset request by a user of the computing environment. The security agent includes logic for authenticating a user for computing environment access, for receiving a request from the authenticated user to access an asset, and for determining whether the authenticated user is authorized to access the asset, and if so, for determining whether to transform the asset responsive to the request to access the asset by the authenticated user. The security agent can further include logic for transparently transforming the requested asset or for defining at least one transformation rule for the requested asset and saving the at least one transformation rule in a transformation list accessible by the authenticated user.

  • Publication number: 20050102360
    Abstract: A method, system, and program product for controlling the content displayed during a computer driven presentation of a presentation graphics application. Hidden object presentation properties are assigned to presentation graphics objects during creation of a presentation graphics file, the properties controlling the circumstances under which hidden objects are displayed during a computer driven presentation or screenshow. One type of hidden object presentation property indicates whether an object is viewable on an audience display and presenter display, or only a presenter display, during a multi-display screenshow. Another type of hidden object presentation property, such as hidden object value, determines the audience to which the object is displayed. Hidden object value properties may be hierarchical, individually selectable in any combination, or mutually exclusive.
