  • Publication number: 20080307233
    Abstract: A method and system for securing and tracing confidential data is described. A request to generate a hardcopy printout is received by a computing device. Document output instructions for the request then are generated and data to associate with the document output instructions is determined. Then the determined data is encoded with the generated document output instructions. The encoded data includes information specific to a terminal device associated with the request and an identifier representative of a starting position for reading the encoded data. One ore more software modules within a terminal device, an intermediate server, and/or a printer may perform the operation of encoding the data. A hardcopy printout includes the content requested to be printed in addition to the encoded data. The encoded data may appear as representations of noise on one or more pages of the hardcopy printout.
