The secure2trust API: Automatically Apply Security Policies in Third Party Applications
The security functions offered by secure2trust can be easily integrated into any appropriate third party application through the secure2trust API.
The secure2trust API permits the following actions to be performed by applications such as document servers, document portals and other system servicesThe secure2trust API permits the following actions to be performed by applications such as document servers, document portals and other system services:
- Protection of documents
- Changing protection of documents
- Removal of protection from documents
The API consists of a single C++ dll, which can be used from almost any programming language. Use of the API involves three basic steps:
- Initialisation of an instance of the API.
- Using the API functionality to protect, etc., documents.
- Un-initialisation, to free up API resources.
The API is fully thread-safe and may be used for intensive document protection applications.
Example Use of the secure2trust API
The secure2trust API can be used in applications that control documents, to automatically apply security polices controlling who accesses the document and how they use the content of that document. These policies are typically applied when a document is uploaded into the document controlling application, for example an enterprise content management system such as IBM FileNet or an online portal such as Microsoft SharePoint, Finsoft CBP, etc.. However, policies can also be applied as part of a workflow engine so that the security policy changes, as the document moves through the workflow, reflecting the changing security requirements throughout the lifecycle of that document. In fact policies can be applied at any relevant point in the system.
