Digital Rights Management for Documents is an approach to security in which copying of digital files is prevented by software that is running on the end-user’s computer or device and can operate in a way that is invisible. This approach works by encrypting the files and then selectively granting access to them based upon credentials issued to authorized users. The document viewer displays the document for the end-user with no password entry necessary. The viewer enforces the security settings placed on the document by the DRM software, such as timed expiration or document saving, printing or transferring restrictions. In most cases the end-user won’t know the document is secured unless they send it to a friend (who won’t have permission to open it). (more…)

What is Digital Rights Management (DRM) for Documents?
In today’s digital world, when we speak of documents, we mean information that used to start out as a piece of paper but now most often ends up in an electronic format like PDF. Documents, as opposed to image files (although documents may contain graphics or images) or emails, are in a format that is intended to be viewed online and possibly printed. Some examples of digital documents are legal contracts, market research papers, financial statements and newsletters.
However, there are numerous challenges associated with the distribution of digital document. The reasons to distribute documents in digital or electronic form are obvious. However, many business users are understandably reluctant to send confidential or sensitive documents outside of their company’s firewall. In unencrypted form, these digital documents are easily copied and forwarded to potential competitors or others who do not have the company’s best interest at heart.
Merely applying document passwords doesn’t enhance security because the passwords are often tied to the document itself, and may be shared along with the copy. The practice of issuing unique passwords to many documents and users becomes a logistical and administrative nightmare. (more…)
