The present invention addresses the deficiencies of the art in respect to data security control and provides a method, system and computer program product for securing confidential data through transient on-demand data security control. In one embodiment of the invention, a method of securing confidential data can be provided. The method can include decrypting confidential data in a document, determining a subset of the confidential data specified by an author of the document, rendering a view of the confidential data including the subset, and, in response to detecting when an authorized viewer of the document no longer views the document, concealing the subset of the confidential data while maintaining a view of the confidential data not included in the subset.

Temporary concealment of a subset of displayed confidential data

A computer program product prevents the delivery of undesired e-mail message. A remove request is received from a non-desiring client. The remove request identifies a first subject line or a first body text from a previous e-mail message. An active request is updated with the remove request. Responsive to updating the active requests, the non-desiring client is redacted from a previously received message within a message file. The previously received message includes a second subject line that matches the first subject line, or a second body text that matches the first body text.

Active removal of e-mail recipient from replies and subsequent threads

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for performing a plurality of searches. A request is received to perform the plurality of searches, wherein the request includes text. A search engine preference is retrieved, wherein the search engine preference specifies a plurality of search engines. An Internet browser is opened for each search engine in the plurality of search engines. A search is initiated in each Internet browser using the text.

Performing searches for a selected text

A data processing system, computer implemented method, and a computer program product prevents the delivery of undesired e-mail message. A remove request is received from a non-desiring client. The remove request identifies a first subject line or a first body text from a previous e-mail message. An active request is updated with the remove request. Responsive to updating the active requests, the non-desiring client is redacted from a previously received message within a message file. The previously received message includes a second subject line that matches the first subject line, or a second body text that matches the first body text.

The computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for capturing markup layers on a whiteboard in relation to a projected image. A presentation page is displayed on a whiteboard as the projected image. A set of markups on the whiteboard associated with the presentation page is identified. The set of markups on the whiteboard is isolated from the projected image of the presentation page to create a user input layer. The user input layer is saved as an overlay for the presentation page.

Recognition and capture of whiteboard markups in relation to a projected image

A system on a computer for providing access to data stored on the computer in either power state is provided. The system can include a memory module and an external data interface connector. The system can further include a data interface controller for managing a data interface to the memory module and a data interface to the external data interface connector. The system can further include a multiplexer conductively connecting the data interface controller with the memory module when the computer is powered on, the multiplexer conductively disconnecting the data interface controller from the memory module when the computer is powered off and the multiplexer conductively connecting the external data interface connector with the memory module when the computer is powered on.

Computer memory accessible in either power state of the computer

A system for disabling a device. An embedded identifier contained within a cable security system is read in response to enabling a cable security mechanism within the device. The device is disabled if the embedded identifier is not found.

Method and system for disabling an electronic device upon theft

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for determining whether a set of items is complete. An interrogate signal is transmitted from a tag reader into an interrogation zone. Each item returning a response signal to the tag reader in response to the interrogate signal is included in a checked item set. The checked item set is compared to a set data. The set data identifies all items in a set of items, the set data is included in at least one tag associated with at least one item in the set of items, and the set data is included in at least one response signal received at the tag reader. A determination is made whether the set of items is complete, wherein the set of items is complete if every item identified in the set data is included in the checked item set.
