Abstract
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.
