Abstract
A method and apparatus for remote logging of access to and activity on a computerized network is provided. Logging information is transmitted to a remote log repository and is not maintained by the local log generating machine. After the logging information is stored in the remote repository, the access to the information is controlled by a specific policy that governs the type of information and the time period during which the information is available. No access is provided to information outside the bounds of the access policy. Preferably the remote log repository is outside the jurisdiction of relevant authorities. This allows the access policy between the log generating entity and the log repository to dictate precisely the information that is under the control of the log generating entity. The use of a remote log repository and a specific access policy affords flexibility to the log generating entity in balancing its multiple responsibilities and makes responding to subpoenas cost effective and efficient.
