Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling access rights of a document using enterprise digital rights managements are described. A document is encrypted for generating a protected document and access rights are assigned to a user upon receiving a request from an owner of the document. The access rights include offline access of the protected document by the user. Upon assign the access rights, access information of the user is monitored. Based on the access information, the user is locked from accessing the protected document when the access information indicates misusing of the protected document by the user.
Claims20
A method for controlling access to a protected document by an enterprise digital rights management (eDRM) server communicatively coupled with a client device, the method comprising:
- encrypting, by an assignment module, a document to generate the protected document;
- assigning, by the assignment module, at least one access right to a user for accessing the protected document, wherein the at least one access right includes offline accessing of the protected document for a predetermined time period;
- obtaining, by a locking module, access information data of the user, wherein the access information data is indicative of misuse of the protected document by the user;
- and
- locking, by the locking module, the user from accessing the protected document based on the access information data.
An enterprise digital rights management (eDRM) server communicatively coupled with a client device for controlling access to a document, the eDRM server comprising:
- a processor;
- an assignment module coupled to the processor to:
- generate a protected document by encrypting the document;
- assign at least one access right to a user for accessing the protected document, wherein the at least one access right includes offline accessing of the protected document for a predetermined time period;
- and
- a locking module coupled to the processor to:
- monitor access information data of the user, wherein the access information data indicates a misuse of the protected document by the user;
- and
- lock the user from accessing the protected document based on the access information data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program for executing a method of controlling access to a protected document, the method comprising:
- encrypting a document to generate the protected document;
- assigning at least one access right to a user for accessing the protected document, wherein the at least one access right includes offline accessing of the protected document for a predetermined time period;
- obtaining access information data of the user, wherein the access information data is indicative of misuse of the protected document by the user;
- and
- locking the user from accessing the protected document based on the access information data.
