Abstract
A method for securing an imaging job is disclosed. An access control function relating to a document is performed. An auditing function relating to the document is also performed. An imaging job from the document is then generated. Content of the imaging job is encrypted such that a downstream non-content dependent process will still properly process the imaging job. After encryption, a recipient decrypts the encrypted content. Non-destructible information is encoded into the imaging output. Residual data that relates to the imaging job is erased.
