In addition, symmetric keys for the workflow participants are accessed and each of the first labels is encrypted using a respective symmetric key to generate a plurality of second labels, the entry table is populated with the plurality of second labels, each of the plurality of symmetric keys is encrypted with the public key of a respective workflow participant, and the entry table is incorporated into the digital document.

Abstract: Document management system includes a composite document (CD) and a mixed workflow, which includes an unordered stage followed by one of i) an ordered stage or ii) another unordered stage. The system includes a map-file (map) of the document (CD) for a participant (P) in the mixed workflow that is associated with the ordered or other unordered stage, and a wrap (W) of the map-file (map).
