The metadata includes the information on the destination. The management apparatus includes a memory and a response unit. The memory stores metadata of documents received from the plural processing apparatuses. The response unit responds to a request for metadata corresponding to a document by returning metadata of the document which is stored in the memory.

Document management system and processing apparatus

A document management system includes a management device and at least two processing devices. For each of the at least two processing devices, a user to be allowed to register a document by using a corresponding processing device is determined. The management device includes a first storage and an obtaining unit. The first storage stores metadata of a protected document received from any of the at least two processing devices. The obtaining unit obtains information concerning a processing load of each of the at least two processing devices. The at least two processing device include first and second processing devices. The first processing device includes a second storage, a sender, and a receiver. The second storage stores information concerning a user to be allowed to register a document by using the first processing device. Upon receiving a request to register a document from the user, the sender sends the document and identification information concerning the first processing device to the second processing device if a processing load of the first processing device is greater than a threshold. The second processing device is determined based on information concerning a processing load of one or more of the at least two processing devices obtained by the management device. The receiver receives a protected document which is sent from the second processing device based on the identification information. The protected document is generated by processing the document in the second processing device.

An information processing system includes a first, second and management apparatus. The first apparatus stores an encrypted document, notifies the management apparatus of a first state of the first apparatus regarding information security requirements, sends information for specifying the first apparatus as a transmission source and information for specifying the second apparatus as a transmission destination to the management apparatus, requests transmission permission to the management apparatus, and transmits the encrypted document to the second apparatus when transmission permission is granted. The second apparatus notifies the management apparatus of a second state of the second apparatus regarding the information security requirements, and receives the encrypted document from the first apparatus. The management apparatus issues transmission permission for transmission of the encrypted document from the first to the second apparatus when both of the first and second states satisfy the information security requirements in response to the request for transmission permission.

A data delivery system providing multipoint delivery of encrypted digital data to specific destinations. A plurality of pieces of key information are generated on the basis of an encryption key specific to each digital data item to be delivered. The multiple pieces of key information are delivered over routes which differ from the routes used to deliver the digital data and which further differ from each other. Physically different media or transmission over a network at different times are used to separately transmit different sets of key information.

Data delivery method and data delivery system using sets of passkeys generated by dividing an encryption key

A transmission control unit () of a transmitting station () specifies usable plural transmission paths (). A data supply unit () transfers movie contents file encoded by MPEG 4 to plural divisional distribution encoders () corresponding to the specified plural transmission paths (). The respective divisional distribution encoders () divide movie contents file into plural divisional distribution data in which original data file can be restored by carrying out synthesis. Further, the transmitting station () transmits divided respective divisional distribution data through transmission paths different from each other. Respective receiving units () of a receiving station () respectively receive divisional distribution data from the plural transmission paths (). A linking decoder () synthesizes plural divisional distribution data to restore original movie contents file. Thus, high speed transfer of contents file of large capacity can be carried out.
