Re: Securing a document management system

[Morrow Long <morrow.long () YALE EDU>]

There are a number of existing solutions which
will encrypt PDF files (which can be created by
many of the document managed systems) after
scanning and before storage.

They'd then be encrypted end-to-end (in transit
and storage) and only decrypted in the PDF
viewer (and presumably not stored on disk as
a temporary file even).

If anyone has implemented such a solution (PDF
files encrypted at or shortly after the scanning
device) I'd be interested in hearing from them.
