In an approach for protecting a resource, a processor receives a resource and a parameter, wherein the parameter indicates a condition upon which the resource will be made accessible. A processor encrypts the resource. A processor associates the parameter with decryption information for the encrypted resource. A processor sends the encrypted resource to a computing device. A processor determines that the condition of the parameter has been met based on external information regarding the parameter. A processor sends the decryption information to the computing device.

Smart resource access for decrypted information

A data processing system that includes a data store, means for archiving files within the data store, and a graphical user interface is disclosed that uses a novel query system. The query system includes a domain scope control field, a narrowing search control funnel, a specific item search field, and a broadening search control funnel. The domain scope control field allows a user to perform a hierarchical search within a plurality of topics available in the domain control field. The search query generates a search cell. The narrowing search control allows a user to narrow the scope of the search cell. The specific item search field allows a user to identify specific key words to be searched within the search cell. The broadening search control allows a user to broaden the scope of the search cell.

An Integrated Messaging System which integrates mail from a plurality of mail servers handling messages of different media types such as text, voice, facsimile, video and image. The IMS maintains the in-basket for all mail systems, eliminating the need to collect each type of mail separately. Any terminal interface, telephone or computer workstation can be used to collect, generate and act upon a message of any media type. Further, from the preferred system, the user can request another file server and its associated terminals to perform messaging services. The system includes a variety traditional E-mail and voice mail functions which can be used for any message. The IMS also includes synchronization means which checks to see whether the mail count in each in-basket is the same to guarantee that the same mail items are in each file server in-basket. An integrated messaging protocol is used to pass information between the file servers. It is designed in a generic manner to allow wide variety of foreign message formats at each of the respected media file server. For the majority of transactions, the protocol is independent of message body format, referencing only the message pointer or header.
