Abstract
A communication apparatus transmits data to a plurality of destinations. The apparatus includes a first input unit that inputs an individual setting as to whether the data is encrypted for each of the plurality of destinations for an encryption transmission. The apparatus also includes a second input unit that inputs an individual setting as to whether the data is encrypted for each transmission job. Further, the apparatus includes a transmission control unit that, when the transmission job includes at least two sets of the destinations, if the transmission job is set to be encrypted, performs the encryption transmission for each of the destinations, and, if the transmission job is set to be not encrypted, performs the encryption transmission for each of the destinations to be encrypted and performs a transmission without an encryption for each of the destinations not to be encrypted.
