Abstract
A system and method for controlled monitoring of pending document processing operations is provided. Each document processing request received by a document processing device is assigned a job name, which is then encrypted using a random static encryption key, resulting in a job identification. A user then logs onto the document processing device to view pending jobs, which are displayed to the user by only job identification. Those jobs with which the user is associated are then decrypted by the document processing device, allowing the user to view job information including status and file name. The user is thereby also able to modify or delete those pending jobs with which the user is associated. Once the job queue is empty, the random static encryption key is deleted and a new key is generated when a document processing request is received into the empty queue.
